Stewbell 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Guys, Just wonderd if some of you could maybe assist me on something. My bull cross is currently 7 months old and i have noticed that her coat has in some places started to go a light brown (shes a black) ha, is this normal or do i need to start giving her something to make it go back black? also ive notice that her skin under her coat is a little bit flakey now not sure if this is due from her running through rivers and mucky mud water etc so hopefully some of you guys maybe to give me a few tips on this or if anyone else has come across or has the same problem with there dog. cheers Stew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaelq 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 use a hack saw blade and brush her rugurly with hard brush, its proberly just dead hair Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,519 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Sounds like she's just moulting out the puppy coat mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lunita 57 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 you could always add some more oil to her diet if you think she has dry skin..but if shes malting probably stop being flaky after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mally 832 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 As already said brush her out with a blunt hacksaw blade mate. I'd also give her 5ml of linseed oil in her feed every day. You should see an improvement in a couple of weeks. (available from equestrain suppliers Don't give her the linseed oil you put on cricket bats!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stewbell 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 cheers people ive bought a brush and it does just seem to be dead fur, also ill start giving her some oil cheers for the help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FTBBTH Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 its probably just puppy fur as said, hacksaw blades work well but, ive recently purchased a furminator, if you look on the internet theyre about £6? i got mine for something like that. no pain to the dog and liturally 5-6 brushes over and its gone. and if its quite coarse compared to the rest, boil some mackerel or other oily fish, feed her that twice a week or so until his/her coat is shiny all over, to suppliment that brush with a soft brush every day and it will bring a glisten to the dogs coat. atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
