 thanks guys!
I live in a rather small town and am not really sure where to find a doggie dermatologist.
As far as the picture that I posted...you're right. When we got her she had VERY sparse hair on her legs...but that has since been improving. Now her legs look much better, but her head (which was never an issue before) is the problem.
I will try and get her still enough to get a good picture of the area above her eye. It is very small, but noticeable to me!
She seems to only scratch when the hair is in a ponytail, which makes me think she just doesn't like it...is that possible? Will a dog scratch themselves to blood just because they don't like it??
Her vet seems non-bothered by it. He put her on a fish oil supplement and that's about it. He agreed with me on the food changes (we now feed her Wellness) and the change in shampoos. I also give her the coconut oil from the vendor on this site. I am VERY guilty of sharing table food...but I don't think this could be the problem.
Sorry this got so long....wanted to cover as much as I could!
Thanks guys for all the info!!! :] |
