Re: Advice on Maizies skin (pics included)

TBH I was that worried about Coles and that he was suffering, the thought did run through my mind that it might be better to PTS. He started having seizures as well. But now he is like a different dog and even plays again and he's had no more seizures

The reason he was so bad with it was because he was one steroids as he has an allergy to dust mites. Steroids feed the mites so they multiplied very quickly and also he was treated with the wrong treatment for six weeks.

Re: Advice on Maizies skin (pics included)

Hey shell, stans baldness is different too maizies, stan has the baldness on his head which has been there now for over a year n not gotten any worse he had mange as a pup but what he has now isnt mange. Its his sides that have the fur loss, but with his change of food and all the other stuff were doing he seems too have a much better coat quality.

Poor coles i hope hes alot better now.

Dunno if you can see but this is stans sides where the lack of fur is.



This is the bad patch in his head hair seems too be groing back but is very short

Just a quick update. Maizies skin looks much better than a couple of days ago. Her redness on her head has gone down.

Glad things are improving for Maizie
Have you thought of giving her raw food to help boost her immune system? You don't have to change completely, every other day would be beneficial. Just a thought!

Re: Advice on Maizies skin (pics included)

Oh this does sound like Demodex mites, our puppy has been for a skin scrape last week and we've been given shampoo we have to bath her every 5 days for a month and she's on advocate too and the fur is growing back and she's looking better already

It's taking ages to improve. He's a lot better now but still bald in places. He will need treatment for this for the rest of his life, due to his age. Demodex mange is rare in old dogs. Coles is 12.

She has the odd raw bone from butchers but dont have the space in my flat for another freezer for a raw diet. I have changed her onto a hypoalegenic food.

Also got her 6 months of Advocate as thinking about it her skin really improved when she had 3 months of advocate in Aug and has only got worse since I stoped.
