I have a 3 year old fawn colored pitbull who has never had an sort of allergies or skin conditions, she is in great health...She has developed small scabs all over her skin, under her coat...she doesn't scratch or itch and it doesn't seem to be bothering her...but when I look at her skin by pulling her hair in the opposite direction, I can see the scabs, like if she had chicken poxs and then they scabbed over..the scabs are not bad at all there is no puss or anything like that...it looks mild...She is not loosing any hair at all either...Any ideas what she has?
Thanks
Dog Skin Condition...?
Definitely needs a trip to the vet. Things that pop into my mind are a staph infection (generally starts due to some kind of allergy then bacteria moves in causing the pustules), mange (two different kinds), ringworm, general poor nutrition, fleas... Only your vet can tell you for sure and prescribe treatment.
Reply:it may be dangerous so conslut with your vet.
Reply:Go see your vet! Than if you vet says it's nothing dangerous it could be a food allergy. Try to get a senstive skin food. It's go more vitamine E and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which are good for the skin. Your vet will probly recomend one for you!
Reply:I would recommend a trip to the vet, he/she can examine the skin and see if there is a need for medication or recommend a special shampoo to bathe your dog with. Good Luck.
