skycat 6,173 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Food allergy? (Wheat, soya, beet pulp etc etc: dog food full of the stuff which a lot of dogs are allergic to and even if the dog has been on the same food for years they can build up to a level of intolerance which results in problems.) Contact allergy: dust mites, washing powder etc etc. Skin problems are a needle in a haystack job: I've got a similar thing at the moment with one of mine: tearing MY hair out trying to find the cause. First off: get dog on to hyperallergenic diet of chicken and rice for a month minimum. That will tell you if is is a food allergy. Still no improvement? Tear hair out some more LOL and change washing powder, stop using fabric softner if dog in house. Change bedding if in kennel (what are you using now?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
