Dog Question**44 Day UPDATE** 7/31

[thescreensavers]

My dog has this spot on her back which she had in other part of her body but they went away. the skin looks dry. If I put A and D ointment on my dogs dry skin will it help of is A and D ointment bad. She wont lick it Ill make sure of that. Its safe to put on Babbie's so I think its OK what are your thoughts.

Update (7-31-06)

Her biopsy results came back and she has

cyclic follicular dysplasia

Poodle is listed in that list

It could be a rash. It could be some reason that the dog is licking it repeatedly. It could be mange. It is difficult to guess from the description. Could you take a picture and post it?

Call a vet.

My dog has that and it's from some sore of environmental allergies. We have to take her to the vet for monthly steroid shots to keep them at bay.

It's a lot worse at some times of the year than others.

Go to the vet.

Probably allergies. Steroids can have a bad effect on some dogs. We have used over the counter antihistimines on our pets.

Call a vet FTW?

you could try to give the dog a bath and look for some sort of DOG lotion at your local Pet super-chain.

Sounds like an allergy our dog had to advantage. It also could be an allergy to a soap or cleaner you are using on the dog.

We don't know exactly a allergic reaction to something I think she just develops it by here self. the spots can last up to a year and the hair will grow back darker or lighter. We went to a vet and they gave use this spray but it not working so that why I was asking about A and D ointment

we went to a different vet and they did all these test they scraped some of it and found nothing. so now our dog will be going to a vet dermatologist and we will see what they say.

Some dogs are allergic to flea bites... That'd be my first guess at this time of year without seeing the dog.

 

[thescreensavers]

it not an allergic reaction to flea bites we think it might be the rabbis shot. b/c after that is when these patched of non growing hair apierd and I can give you a pic but It wont be anywhere near clear enough to see but i will try.
He shampoo is A puppy formula for sensitive skin and was not causing this when we got her.

Here are the pics We just put the spray on here so the skin look a bit reflective
Pic 1
Pic 2

ill take pictures later when its not so reflective

When my dog had mange when she was a puppy, it was a lot tighter of areas that it affected her. I haven't had any experience with something that complete with my dog. Good luck.
