losing hair - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gunrock31 · 10-11-2005, 03:22 PM

I have changed shampoos from baby shampoo, to anti-itch to oatmeal. I have also given her fatty acid pills in case it was dry skin.

Nothing works!

I agreed it can be allergies. I found the attached links regarding allergies and loss of hair. I hope is useful.

There is something called hot spots.. not sure if yorkies get them too but my Pekingese gets them and looses hair in spots. And bites and itches at those spots... It just reminded me of that.... Good luck.. Hope you can figure out what is wrong.. Poor lil puppy..

Any breed of dog is able to get hot spots and yea they usually cause hair loss and scabbing and even raised skin in the area. Typically its a reaction skin allergies that causes the dog to lick, chew and scratch the area over & over again until it's rubbed raw. There is treatment for these spots but the best thing is to do preventative maintenence. Allergy tests, change food, change shampoo etc. Harley was all itchy & scratchy when I first got him bc I was feeding him Royal Canin & it has corn in it so I changed him over to a better food and only use all natural oatmeal shampoo and we have 0 problems now! I hope this helps you guys. Your poor babies.. I hope they feel better ASAP!

the vet told me to use only Maselba shampoo, it is expensive, can be bought on line, but his little bald patches are finally gone. I bathe him once a week in this stuff, lather it up, let it sit on him for about fifteen minutes and then thoroughly rinse, and I mean thoroughly rinse. Finally, he does not have the dry flakes, and he does not scratch. Used it routinely and now no more trips to the vet for his skin. Good luck.

chachi · 10-23-2005, 02:52 PM

Im surprised your vet hasnt done a skin scrape to check for mites. Thats what mine did when Jewels was losing hair. She didnt itch though and they never found out why she lost it. I think it needs to be treated at your vets Its probably allergies.

kimme · 10-23-2005, 04:37 PM

i took my sammy to the vet....he has allergies..but he is taking his meds like a big boy

...and dont mind the extra bath(two a week now) for his iching

thanks everyone....now i am lookin for my sammy a play mate..if anyone knows of one let me know please..smiles sammy and kimme

My Trixie was scratching her muzzle and losing hair on her face and chest. The vet told me it was a food allergy and gave me a medicated shampoo and conditioner called chlorhexidine. I changed her food and bathe her with this and so far, I've noticed less itching and some hair regrowth.
