A shiny, glossy coat is beautiful on a dog. What’s not so beautiful is dandruff: white flakes of dead skin cells.

Kennel cough usually is self limiting infection and resolves even without any treatment if not severe, tapeworm must be treated unfortunately with prescription medications together with good quality flea treatment (as the fleas are the intermediate host of the parasite).

It sounds as though Skye may have anxiety when travelling. I would recommend using a product called NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin, which can be found online quite easily. I would also consider using products such as Rescue Remedy for dogs and an Adaptil Pheremone collar, which also can be found online. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hello. If his skin is damaged, then you want to use an antibacterial shampoo until the lesions heal. Anything with Benzoyl Peroxide or Chlorhexidine will work well. You will need to probably bathe him every few days, so alternate with a shampoo that has anti-itch properties such as Pramoxine or 1% hydrocortisone. The key to using any medicated shampoo is to make sure you leave the lather on for 10 minutes before rinsing. Finally, you should use a skin barrier preparation that contains ceramides. Allerderm Spot-on by Virbac & Dermoscent Essential 6 Spot-on are 2 highly rated products. Ueing these products along with diet & appropriate medications should make Mumble much more comfortable. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

On the leg she has a hot spot, this is usually caused by skin allergies and aggravated by licking. i can't really see anything abnormal on the ear but it could be related to the same problem. your vet can provide treatment for this condition.

HI, thanks for using PetCoach! From your picture the bumps appear to pustules or papules. It could be a skin infection. Skin infections can start from allergies or increased moisture. If it is localized to that small area you can try a medicated shampoo and if she is licking read this: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/. Bathe the area 2-3 times per week and leave the lather on for 10 mins. If there is no improvement or it worsens she should see a Vet for an exam. Usually oral antibiotics are used for skin infections. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=27975 I hope this helps and I wish Dessy the best!
