my dog a little over one year old has been having some hair loss on his back legs which cleared up with a bath. He has always had dry skin and has been treated for yeast before but come to find out it is an allergy to laundry detergent. He still has dry skin though and has been losing hair around his mouth on the one side only and the area is red. He still has a little bit of red blotchy dots on his underarms in the front but nothing like it has been in the past. Could this possibly be mange or is it likely an allergy to something in the house?

Heartworms, Possible Sarcoptic Mange, And Aggression – Advice Needed?Posted by: in women hair lossI adopted a dog from another woman who had rescued him. I knew he had been treated for heart worms with ivermectin. He had three shots over a period of three days after he was rescued from the shelter. (could be wrong on number of shots) When I took him to the vet they were concerned about his legs and ears because of some hair loss. A surface and deep scraping didn’t reveal any mites but the vet said that the mites will move around after the scraping starts. They also did another heart worm test that came back positive. They were concerned because it had been a month after his shots. They said they would hold off on treating the heart worms with heart guard because they wanted to go ahead and treat the possible mange which also would be with a pill which contains ivermectin. On our way out of the vet he “greeted” a terrified maltese by attempting to bite his face. I know it wasn’t his friendly pre-lick snap that he does to me because he was uncontrollable and growling. It seems anything smaller than him or anything that he could get away with mistaking for a cat causes aggression. |
