Anyone ever see this before?
Submitted by Anonymous on April 21, 2010 - 12:08amhttp://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff133/soopestah33/bellas%20skin/
Bell has a little problem.
She itches like crazy! Bad part is she cant reach anywhere so im constantly having to scratch her. And if i stop she will go after my hands until I continue scratching her.
As i am scratching her, fur flies out like its snowing! Some areas only though, not her entire body. Mostly from her shoulders all the way down her back to her tail pocket.
I thought maybe it was grass, so stuck her inside for several days and nothing changed. She has been eatin Natural Balance for a long time now and loves it. Im not ruling this out but I dont think it could be her food.
The areas that itch her, the fur is very course there. And you visibly see it. For the sake of making this post too long, ill end it here with a link to the photo album i created.
Thank you in advance.
I agree
this sounds exactly like what Dozer had. From the shoulders down, he was almost bald. I had never seen hair fall out like that! He was constantly scratching so the vet scraped for staph. That's what it was. We had Dozer on antibiotics for a month and that cleared it up. He's been fine ever since. Good luck!

Agree, skin scraping to determine if its any pests...
and I must ask what you use for bathing, whether you follow the medicated instructions about leaving lather on the dog for 15mins before copious rinsing? Maybe vet will suggest a medicated product other than Malaseb...look at choices on DrsFosterSmith.com re shampoo products.

It looks almost like bites of some kind. My Lola is brindle, but when she got bitten by a mosqutio, the fur almost sttod up straight from her body, and she was very itcy. I would do the skin scraping to see if there is a biger problem, too.
