He’s always had a little dandruff and when this started, he had big flakes and it’s out of control. I’ve used prescribed shampoos, melasab shampoo and his flakes are “better”. But the problem is still there.
Anyone have/had similar issues? Insight? |
Hi Saranshay,
I feel so for you and your little one. PetMD has a slide show (with great images) "
5 Common Causes of Hair Loss in Dogs.." The five conditions are:
1. Allergies
2. Infection or Infestation
3. Cushing's Disease
4. Genetics
5. Pressure Sores
Might you elaborate on the tests your vet has run?
Would you be comfortable sharing a picture of the hair loss?
Cushing's Disease has been, over time, a fairly active topic on YorkieTalk and there are many articles on the internet about it. In particular, see Wylie's Mom's post, "
Symptoms of Cushings" and "
Cushing’s (Hyperadrenocorticism)"
Sending you and yours prayers and virtual hugs. --Katy's Mom.
