Chubs 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 What type of collar do you have on her Chub's, could quiet simply be rubbing the hair off especially if she has smooth skin underneath, usually with a skin complaint the skin would not be smooth. No collar on her, when i noticed the hair loss i took it off & she hasn't worn one since (months), After reading up on this as much as poss i think it is quite possible she has a zinc defiecency, all the signs are there & it is common in english bull terriers, she has the hair los, reddening of affected skin, scaley crusty skin on legs, spots around mouth & can sleep for england. I'm changing her to a raw wheat free diet, i've dosed her with advocate on the off chance it's mites that weren't picked up on the scrape, changed my washing powder & bought a 2kg powder form sa37 & zinc tablets come tomorrow. I thought i'd change it all & then change one at a time & see what she responds to. If anyone thinks i'm doing this wrong or has any more ideas/tips i'm all ears here! I must add she's in no discomort what so ever it's entirely cosmetic & only affeting her jaw/throat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
