tra708 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I know this topic has been covered before, but I just got freaked out because not only does Connie have dry looking patches on her sides under her arms, but really scaly skin on her back too! Her coat is oily and rather sparse. She's black, I don't know if that makes a difference, but she's definitely the only hound I've had with this kind of skin. So far, I've tried using Missing Link in her food for about a month. It's helped a little. I've finally found food that makes her poop really good, so I'm reluctant to start messing around with that again. But, maybe another supplement? Has anyone else ever had a hound with such scaly skin? Any suggestions? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieRhea Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Wish i could help, i'm not a vet. Curious if she smells yeasty with the oily coat? Just sounds like perhaps allergies as i have been there but with a different breed. Also is it year round or seasonal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidansmom Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 As CharlieRhea said is it all the time? or just a seasonal thing? I know my Aidan normally has a beautiful coat free of dandruff and flakes but recently with this horrible cold weather and then coming into a warm house his skin is taking a beating just like mine. I'm hoping it will get better when it starts to warm up outside. Has Connie been scratching or licking those spots at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
