Vet Q & AMy dog's skin is black and flaking. Could it be a skin infection?
Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. From the pictures you have provided, I suspect that she is dealing with a skin infection. Below are the products I recommend to treat this. If the skin condition does not improve or it worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. These products can all be found online quite easily. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
1. Douxo PS chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until the infection is resolved.
2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area until resolved
3. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules
4. Essential 6 spot on by dermoscent
