Thanks for putting me in the right forum! I cannot imagine that this is anything serious. We own both parents, and these puppies have been raised right here in the living room. We keep the box clean and dogs de-flead. In fact, one of my thoughts is that Frontline applications to mom have been an irritant and caused an allergic reaction. It has been a bad summer for fleas here and we have treated her regularly with a new spray form of Frontline. I am not sold on it frankly, because it appears to be weaker and needs to be applied more often.
Other thoughts were that this is just kind of a cradle cap type of thing. The sire has very thick hair. I thought perhaps because they were not old enough to be groomed, that oils built up and caused the crustiness. Anxious to see if anyone else has had a problem like this. It is getting better. |
