Losing patches of hair / Dry skin
Submitted by jamesjago on October 18, 2011 - 10:05amHey All,
Little bald patches are popping up on tank's belly and now in other places as well. He's otherwise healthy, but his skin looks dry and these little 'divots' make him look really mangy! We've been applying calm coat to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? Thanks so much!

what are you feeding
dry skin is not really helped by applying anything to the coat.....what you need is some omega...bulldogs seem to need alot of this...you can use either my favorite cod liver tabs.....or vit e.....or salmon based oil....if using the salmon watch the ingredients...the less the better....
taste of the wild...
he's been eating taste of the wild (salmon) his entire life. We haven't been giving him his fish oil pills for last few months, maybe I'll throw one in his meals from now on. Below are two pictures....any other thoughts are greatly appreciated...
get some omegas going....
that will help greatly....the food is ok for kibble...you just need that extra kick....of salmon or fish oil then you'll be ok
Could be several things
when that happens to Onslow its a bacterial infection. His hair falls out from it. :(
I would bring him in to the vet for a
scraping also. Is he young? Less then 2 years old? It could be demodex. Whatever it is I would get him checked.
