hogdog 61 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 You need to check it's not mange but if it's just dry skin then evening primrose oil is very good, give a capsule in with her feed every day...that should sort it. You can buy stuff for dry skin from pet shops but it's usually just evening primrose oil with an inflated price tag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

painter 24 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 it is very difficult for anyone to ascertain what skin disorder your bitch is suffering from without seeing it first hand some lads have allready mentioned some of the more common disorders working terriers succumb to but in reality there are many .could even be her thyroid or a skin infection you may be loathe to because of their exorbitant fees but a visit to the vets is the best option for your bitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
