Rotweiler has dry skin(dandruff and losing hair)?

Rotties generally have good skin, but Huskies need omega 3 fatty acids for their coats and skin. these are available in many food items. This supplement is great, and if you read the 'letters; they are genuine%26gt; http://springtimeinc.com/product/88/2

switching to Canidae dog food could really make the difference%26gt; http://www.canidae.com/ingredients/thefi...

Canidae or Solid Gold are rich in the omega 3 fatty acids, and are available at most pet supplies (local, not chain)

sounds like mange

Rotweiler has dry skin(dandruff and losing hair)?

It sounds like he may be having an allergic reaction. Has she recently changed his food? Rotties have been known for having food allergies. If she has changed his food, she needs to change it back. I would take him to the vet and have him checked out. That is the only way to be sure.

mix olive oil or an egg w/his food. Remember Avon, their product, 'skin so soft' is excellent for dry skin, dogs or their humans, i use to use it on my terrier. works great. or something w/avocado in it. if none of that works, get to the vet.

Rotweiler has dry skin(dandruff and losing hair)?

Possible causes may be fleas,poor diet or the mange. Try frontline spray if it is caused by fleas. The dog could have a skin fungus. if you give the dog bathes all the shampoo may not be rinsed out,dry conditioners. is the skin dry and cracking ? always try oitments and conditioners. the dog may not be scratching so it rubbing or rolling?

Rotweiler has dry skin(dandruff and losing hair)?

As the dog reach senior stage, his immunity defense will get weaker and weaker.

Use mild shampoo. Strong shampoo will cause dandruff.

This is a natural method that works for both humans and pets. When bathing your dog, use apple cider vingear (which u can get from supermarkets) for final rinse. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar and 2 cup water.

Add flax seed/fish/olive oil into his food.

Doxie's tail is lumpy and losing hair. What could it be?

Her tail is lumpy bumpy and is losing hair. There's one place that has a white spot. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Doxie's tail is lumpy and losing hair. What could it be?

He has growths or tumors on his tail and that is also why he is losing hair..

Doxie's tail is lumpy and losing hair. What could it be?

It could be a skin irritation or it could be something so simple as a skin allergy to either the dog shampoo you are using or it could be to fleas. I had a dog like that too. Wound up that she had lots of skin allergies and had to be put on medication. Sounds like your dog needs to see the vet. Report It

Doxie's tail is lumpy and losing hair. What could it be?

Could be what vets call a hot spot, a skin irritation. Check with your vet to be sure.

Doxie's tail is lumpy and losing hair. What could it be?

take the animal to the vet.

Doxie's tail is lumpy and losing hair. What could it be?

Our doxie has a lump towards the end of his tail. He is 2 years old and we believe the bump in his tail may have happened when he was being born, or first born. Not sure about losing hair though. Does she chew and dig at it? If it seems bothersome, I would have her vet check it out. Good Luck!

I'm losing hair every time I comb or wash it .Help?

I'm losing hair every time I comb or wash it .Help?

its normal for everyone to lose 20-25 hair a day. but if it exceeds that number then maybe you should see a doctor.

I'm losing hair every time I comb or wash it .Help?

Some hair loss is normal, but it sounds like yours may be above the normal limits.

You don't give more information about your condition, but a doctor will be able to know the answers to the question you raise based on a physical examination and a history. There are a number of endocrine troubles that show up as hair loss and there are other things that can cause it too. Once you have the picture of what the cause is, then a treatment may be available.

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

I have three kids and plenty of bills to pay, and my husband lost his job recently (Really bad timing). The dog started losing hair around his face at first about two weeks ago, now there is alot gone from his face, and on his body there arent patches missing, but it just looks like its thinning. He doesnt act like hes miserable or irritated. I feed him pedigree little champions and started giving him vitamins since the hairloss started happening. What should i do? I barely have enough to cover the bills, groceries, and gas money. Im sorry, but i have to take care of my family first before the dog, but i feel so bad : (

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

It may be a lack of vitamins, (espcially Omega 3, my cat had the same problem and vitamins cleaed it up). Try calling some veterinary offices, some will offer advice or help over the phone without charging, of course some will not. Best wishes to you and your family.

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

If he seems to be acting okay, just wait to take him to the vet after you get back on you feet. He needs to see a vet for diagnosis, so in your situation, just wait until things improve and your husband finds another job, etc.

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

Go get some oatmeal dog shampoo and give him a bath really good that might work.

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

since you dont have a pic i cant answer to the best of my ability but it kinda sounds like hes shedding

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

Sorry to be blunt.... you shouldn't have a pet of any kind if you cannot care for him and are having trouble paying your bills. It it not fair to the animal and sets a terrible example to you kids. Give him to a home that will be able to give him proper care.

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

When I was in a similar situation with a really sick dog, I went to a local animal shelter (funded by private donations) and asked them if they had any suggestions. The shelter immediately made an appointment with a local vet, and paid the bill through a special fund they had for just that purpose. After I got back on my feet, I gave them a big donation to replenish that fund.

Anyway, make some calls. There may be an organization that could help you.

You didn't mention how old your dog is. An older dog can develop thyroid problems that could cause the hair to thin. If the dog is younger, I would suspect the possibility of mange, which does need to be treated by a vet. Sometimes dogs just lose hair as they get older. On the other hand, it could be a symptom of a more serious problem. Only a vet can tell you.

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

TRY TO FIND A FREE OR LOW COST VET CLINIC OR A ASPCA IN YOUR CITY, IT COULD BE MITES OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE TREATED.

PICK UP A SUPPLEMENT WITH OMEGA 3 AND 4'S FATTY ACIDS AND FISH OIL. YOU CAN FIND THEM AT A PET STORE AROUND $20.

BUT WITH YOUR LAST STATEMENT OF "I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY FIRST..." I AGREE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME OUR DOGS ARE PART OF THE FAMILY. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ADOPTING THE DOG OUT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE THE PROPER CARE...

What do i do about my chihuhua losing his hair if i dont have extra monery to take him to the vet?

well stop buying the vitamins and save that money to take your dog to the vet. why will people spend hundreds on home remedies before seeking vet advice. and office exam at most usually runs $30 or so. i understand taking care of your family, but how much have you spent on vitamins that aren't working? plus you are feeding a canned food that is costly. feed a higher premium dry food. your dog will need to eat less of it to get the nutrients it needs. and you will save money this way. plus it's better for the dog. look into your local humane society and see if you can get an appt there, often they are much cheaper and can help your pet. i understand financial trouble, but it's not your dog's fault. surely you can figure out a way for an extra $30.

I am losing hair... any good sugesstions?

I have been researching hair alot these days, and it is normal to lose between 50 - 100 hairs a day. I think that seems like a lot. A lady at work told me this, but I don't think I will ever do it. She told me that it is good to put an egg mixed with olive oil and to put this mixture on your head with a bag over it for about 3 hours. She said after a couple of months of doing it, you will start to see new hair growing.

I think my guinea pigs are fighting, one is losing hair...why is this? Answers would be great!!?

I had three guinea pigs, one was definitely a girl, the other two I'm pretty sure are boys. The girl died a few weeks ago, and the past few days I've noticed that one of the guinea pigs has bald patches. I'm not sure if they're fighting, and one is pulling the other's hair, or if it is just losing its hair naturally for some reason. The places where it is losing its hair are in almost perfect small rectangles. I feed them well, plenty of water, and they have a nice hutch with plenty of room...as far as I know. I also bathe them regularly.

Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks!

God bless

I think my guinea pigs are fighting, one is losing hair...why is this? Answers would be great!!?

unless both males have been together since they were babies and never seperated for any length of time there is a high chance they will fight.

Unless you have seen or heard any squabbling cos they are loud i would assume that its a mite. This mite lives in the hair follicles of the skin and can cause irritation but usually there are cuts on the skin from were your G.P has been scratching. Course of injections will sort this........

If its not that hair loss is a sign of stress, possibly from the death of the female.

Well males and males are not a good pair but it depends how long you have had them it could be because of old age!

Might be mites

I think my guinea pigs are fighting, one is losing hair...why is this? Answers would be great!!?

hi there

i had the same problem withe mine and i had 10 girls and 4 males ,they were separated as i did not want any more babies, they were all ok for some time and ten noticed bald patches appearing on 3 of them did everything to clear it up but lossed them, it is a disease called scurvy and it is not good as it will go through the lot of them and sadly they die,also if not that it could be mice and they carry deadly diseases, mice can get into the cage no matter what you do to get food and mice can get through the smallest wire as they flatten themselves out, you could take them to the vet to see what is really wrong, if they are about 5 to 6 years old , they are near their life span, i hope they come good for you as i love these little creatures a lot, just thought of something else it may be what you are bathing them with, i used baby shampoo,as it is very mild on their skin and does not irritate them. the best of luck

I think my guinea pigs are fighting, one is losing hair...why is this? Answers would be great!!?

they need a daily supply of vitamin c veggies every day!!!! Please use the web to find out how to properly care for them!!!

Guinea pigs do not lose hair because of stress, and males who have not grown up together can live together just fine, with an appropriate sized cage.

Your guinea pigs are losing their hair because of mites, fungus, or scurvy. They need an appointment with a guinea pig savvy vet.

They are fighting, more than likely, because your cage is too small. Any pet store cage on the market right now is too small for a guinea pig to live in. Two males will do best in an area at least 10 square feet. They need two of everything, 2 houses, 2 food bowls, 2 water bottles, etc.

Go to guineapigcages.com for info on how to build an appropriately sized cage cheaply, and get them to the vet for their hairloss.

As a guinea pig rescuer, we've successfully paired hundreds of unrelated males with each other. It's all about personality and living area, not about gender.

ETA: "why they're fighting"

Guinea pigs establish a dominance hierarchy. IE, who's the boss, who's the second pig, who's the third pig, and so on down the totem pole. When one pig is removed, the rest of the pigs will start squabbling to try and re-establish a new hierarchy. If one won't back down, they'll keep squabbling. More space, more bowls, and more hideys can help them work it out, as they'll feel less defensive if they don't feel like they have to constantly guard a water bottle or a food dish.

Maybe itz juss gat sum stress from the other guinea pig dying
