Re: Patches on English Springer Spaniel can you please help?

Hi There
If Tashis fix does't work it could be mange. My has had it and it has been this time of year. The only way to diagnose Mange is a skin scrape at the vets though. Good Luck

Patches in that area that lose hair can also be a symptom of thyroid trouble. If all else fails you might get your vet to check her thyroid levels. Hopefully it won't come to that though.

if your sure its not mites you could try this
Amazing Natural Cream for itchy skin on dogs
I got the ointment (not spray) for my spaniels feet, he had a very deep crack in his pad and after a couple of days applying it it was soft and healed.
Brilliant stuff, and im sure the spay for skin will be just as good - you can see the results on the website.

Id highly reccommend the products - i do a lot of research into anything i give my dogs but be sure its not anything the vet can clear up. Entirely natural and steroid free

Another thing to consider is a low thyroid level. Dogs with thyroid conditions will often have symmetrical hair loss in this area.

Some dogs can also get something called seasonal alopecia where they lose hair on either side (although it is usually more likely to be the flank area) and then it grows back after a few months.
