Andrea 2 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Could be a few things. Stress, mange, moulting or a fungus infection. Best to have it checked out by a vet, especially if the dogs showing any signs of irritation. If it turns out to be nothing, then cod liver oil, primrose oil or tinned sardines are good for getting the coat back into condition. Worked for mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Walking dandruff is a smasl parasitic organism which can cause hair loss in a localised spot.easily treated but a pain in the arse for the dog Have a read of this link .It is usually found on pups but increasing on adult dogs and is on the increase .. http://www.norfolkterrier.org/articles_a-e...letiella01.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
