My puppy has been having some skin issues lately, so I decided to break a fish oil vitamin over his food today(supposed to help)...Every time I pick my nose, I smell dead fish.

allergies?

 

[Benny]

allergies?

I'm still trying to figure that out, but yes, I'm guessing so.

He gets a monthly flea and tick treatment(Frontline), his diet doesn't have corn, wheat or chicken in it and he also gets benedryl several times a day.

Mine developed severe allergies at about a year old. Paid for the steroid shot that year. Now it takes a Benadryl a day for about 3 weeks in early spring and hes over it. Saves me $130 a year

Maybe psoriasis. Just guessing INAV

He doesn't lose tons of hair, but it seems like he's constantly making a (somewhat minor) hot spot. It's almost always about 4-5 inches above his tail(on top of his lower back).

He also gets nasty little scabbys on the back of his neck. He obviously can't bite at it, so he must just be constantly scratching it.

He has a beautiful coat and it usually doesn't get bad enough to even notice if you aren't his owner, but it's really annoying.

Eczema?

He hasn't had dandruff since he's been a wee pup(he's almost 9 months now)...I'm not sure if that constant spot above his tail is "scaling" or just a big scab from biting at it. What's the "silverish" you speak of?

 

[Benny]

Eczema?

I don't know if dogs get that or not, but no, nothing he has resembles that.

 

[rmabrey]

aww crap mine just woke up as im ready to go to bed. Joe honestly the best option is pay ridiculous money at the vet. I hate doing it but its so hard to tell with pets what is wrong.........mostly cause of the lack of speech thing

 

[rmabrey]

OK i just saw directions on how to cook fish in a dishwasher so im gonna assume that im drunk and need to go to bed. Night guys (or whats left of you)

Dogs can get it. Good luck with whatever it is

 

[Benny]

I'm staring out the window watching a guy get a DUI. He was just put in cuffs and loaded up while his buddy is trying to call someone to pick him up.

 

[Benny]

I'm not ready to spend "ridiculous" money at the vet yet, so Ima try a few more options first.
