New Pup saluki x

[matty 52]

New Pup 7 weeks old scratching like mad losing a lot of hair daily. Got him booked into vets not until Monday though. He seems to be getting worse no flea infestation and I have treated him anyway. I was thinking mange Any ideas not best pics will get more up later.

That is a disgrace! Whoever let a pup go in that condition should not own a dog.

See if you can get some Benzyl benzoate from a chemist and rub that on, i wouldn't wait till Monday.

Yep looks like mange.

Personally I'd try and get him seen as soon as possible

Looks like mange to me Hope you get it sorted quickly I’d be contacting the breeder give them the heads up an ask for vets fees if they get on the offensive name an shame the feckers if there on here no excuse for letting pups go like that

My mate and I bought 2 litter mates from "proper"dog men 2 years ago,both had demodectic mange,my mate culled his after weeks of treatment,vet visits,...we used advocate,pour on,...it's not meant for puppies under 6 months I think,but after a lot of effort,my dog came good...big names in the dog game they were,and years of hunting behind them,but the conditions they were reared in was stomach churning,.....and I'm afraid it looked similar to yours,I hope you get it sorted fast

Yes kind of same deal here. Pup was very small riddled with worms distended stomach. Iv had him 4 days and he has piled on the weight but skin got worse I first thought fleas but I treated him and zero sign of fleas. So will see what vets say!

Ask around for some advocate.

 Years ago we got a purebred pup off a allotment, soon realized something was up, the vet just gave us something to bath him in and he was sound. Don't remember the old bitch being affected

So not so proper dog men after all then! I’ve seen a few times over the years we’re so called proper dog men breed a litter An think there reputation as good dog men or status in the game automatically means good reared pups Some of the time these dudes think corners can be cut to save on rearing cost An miner detail in rearing because of status in the game they think that breeding alone or how much gear the parents seen is a sure thing on end result of quality litter. In my eyes all aspects have to be in order in a litter quality and condition has to shine through in the parents and pups alike the surroundings have to be clean an tidy were the pups are reared
