seanachiesaluki 11 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 i wouldn't go down the route of taking hormone pills or injections, a good simple solution to skin and hair problems particularly in bitches is to regulary supplement the diet of the bitch with evening primrose oil, this is better than the fish oils for the problem you are having. don't go tipping loads on though, just put the minimum amount on 4 to 5 days a week all year round, its a dietary supplement to provide a high level of Gamma Linolenic Acid, an omega 6 fatty acid, that is beneficial to maintain healthy skin and coat condition and to reduce scurfiness and dry skin. The high level of GLA and omega 6 fatty acids contained in our Evening Primrose Oil makes this an excellent product for maintaining skin condition, reducing dry skin and increasing shine and coat growth. It is invaluable to give during the moult or where excessive hair loss has occurred and is ideal for breeds with long silky coats as when given regularly it will maintain the good quality coat these breeds require. Evening Primrose Oil also affects prostaglandin activity and so is helpful to stabilise hormonal imbalances. I'll give this a go. I like au natural 1 Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Get it spayed and you will be able to forget about that problem and many more.. I will never spay a bitch EVER again unless totally necesssary. Every bitch I have had spayed has ended up with spay incontinence. I'd hate to add up what I've spent over the years on Propalin. I would rather have a bitch on Propalin than a risk of mammary tumours/ovarian cancer/pyometra and a host of other problem's..i have had and seen a fair few problem's what i have mentioned with entire bitches but out of 9 bitches that i have seen spayed only one required Propalin for incontinence... but at the end of the day it's each to there own.. 1 Quote Link to post

It's not just the Propalin and the cost, the insurance pays for that but eventually it stops working well it did with mine. But my bitches are miserable when they wet themselves, they think they have done wrong. The urine irritates their skin and they smell unless you bath them constantly which is no good for their coats and then you have the problem of beds also needing washed all the time. None of my unspayed bitches have ever suffered from mammary tumours/ovarian cancer or pyometra perhaps if they had I'd think differently. As you said each to their own. 2 Quote Link to post
