Upday on Tatiana's vet visit...... Hi, everyone! I just wanted to update you all on Tatiana's skin issues. After a visit to the vet again......they did a skin sample and examined it under a microscope. No mites, infection of any kind and no vasculitis! She just has very dry skin with a build up on her ear tips. :) She has EnteDerm ointment that needs to be applied 2 times a day until the scales are gone The food will stay the same unless she gets worse. I am so happy it is nothing serious!:cheer: |
Wonderful news! I hope the EnteDerm does the trick. |
Good news! I hope the medication does the trick! |
That is great news. I can only imagine how worried you have been. |
Thank goodness it was nothing serious!! I know how worried you have been. |
Add some coconut oil to her food. It's great for skina and coat and most dogs love the taste. Just 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon daily. FYI it's good for your hair and skin also. Cocotherapy is a popular brand. You can find coconut oil in most health food stores also. Look for virgin cold pressed. |

What food is she on? My little poodle had very dry skin and when I changed to a venison base she cleared up. Alot of dogs are allergic to wheat, corn or soy. So watch her and if she is still dry, try changing food. |
She is on BB Freedom w/chicken as the protein. My vet is wanting to wait and see if she adjusts to the food as she has only been on it 6 weeks. We are hoping her skin will get better with the warmer weather and humidity. If not then, it will be switched. And probably to Bison or fish protein. Thank you all for the concerns! :) |

That is a synptom of sarcoptic mange. (buildup on the ear tips) Are you giving her a HW preventative that treats mites? Most times mites won't show up on a skin scraping. |

So happy Tati is ok, hope the ointment clears it up! |
That's great news for little Tati! I didn't know she was having skin issues, poor baby. |
