What cause a dog to have hairloss followed with bumpy red skin hes acting normal..?
i had a pit bull who was allergies to flea bites and it did the same thing we used front line to get rid of the fleas and it hair grew back and the rash went away... if he dont have fleas than its probably a different allergy..also get some hot spot to keep him from itching...you can find it at walmart and pet stores.. i hope i could have helped...
Reply:All of this was likely brought on by vaccinations, bad food, flea and tick meds or all of the above.


I would either put this dog on Raw food or see if you can find him a home with someone who can afford his care. Does he have mange?
Reply:He probably has hot spots, or could be reaction to flea bites. I'd find another vet. I think you can give dogs benedryl, but I don't know how much. Also they have spray for itchy spots for dogs.
Reply:Could be anything from flea bites to ringworm. change your vet - sounds like an idiot to me if he can't figure out what's


wrong.
Reply:the first thing id do is find a new vet, every other day is exsessive for full price office fee...





second thing id do is a skin scraping, they can check for mange and other parisites.





if that comes up clear what have you changed reacently, it could be an allergy, an alergy pannel will tell you what foods and items hes allergic to





it could simply be a "hot spot"





however sounds most likely to be mange or allergies!
Reply:I own a chihuahua and also had some hair loss problems. He did not get help until I found a vet who was familiar with toy dog breeds as they are different than other dogs. My new vet has chihuahua's and knew immediately what was wrong! No expensive tests, etc. Turns out he has an adrenal gland problem. That might not be what is wrong in your case but I highly recommend you call around and get a vet who knows these guys. Good luck!!! P.S. We had the skin tests, etc. so I brought those results with me.
Reply:i have a lady who comes into my work and says the same exact thing your descibing happens to her dog when its feed food with preserviatives...so she is no longer to feed it meat...she use to get it a sandwhich for a treat along with dog food...now she has to buy special dog food without the loaded preservatives and she gets her dog string cheese for a snack....i would try cutting it out and see if it goes away...she said if she snuck even one peice of beef jerky (out of the package) into her diet by the end of the day she would run under the bed and be itchy..rashy...and loses hair...i would see another vet just to get your dog diagnosed...she doesn't have to go to the vet at all unless the break outs occur again which she is then givin pills or cream to apply on the break outs....
