How to treat my dog's dry, bleeding skin after a short haircut?

It sounds like Prince needs actual medications to feel better. When pets are itching to the point of bleeding, it's unlikely that an over the counter medication or shampoo will help them significantly. Additionally, there are several things including allergies, skin mites, flea bites, ringworm (which humans can get) or a bacterial infection that could be causing the itching and until those are addressed, he will keep itching badly. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs, this can help improve the skin health. You may also try changing his diet to something like Royal Canin or Nutro as they are aimed at skin health. Pets can take anti-histamines but you will need to get a recommendation from your veterinarian (pharmacy law prohibits online vets from discussing this with clients). Protect the areas from licking or scratching. I recommend to have him examined by his veterinarian who may prescribe medications and determine the source of the itching. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Ouch, poor Leonidas! If the hair and skin are still having issues, you may want to look into other causes such as allergies, which are very common in pitties Daily allergy meds from your vet, a change in diet to a grain-free or allergen friendly food, and wiping down the skin/coat when coming in from outside can all help reduce allergies. If there isn't an underlying problem such as an infection or allergy, then looking to a supplement such as fish oil or vitamin E may also help the skin and coat. Making sure Leonidas isn't licking and chewing the area (as it can lead to a secondary infection) can also help try to clear it up.

Adding fish oil to Cooper's diet can help with his skin. You can give it to him in the form of pill supplements. For every 30 pounds of body weight, give him 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/ DHA combined. There are dog fish oil supplements, but it's fine to use human fish oil supplements, just make sure that you give her the recommended dose above. Finally, you can give him a bath with vitamin E oil to help his skin. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I'm not sure what kind of shampoo you used on Hazel, but it could have dried her skin out, leading to the white flakes (dandruff). You can try giving her a bath with Vitamin E oil, which will help moisturize her skin. An oatmeal bath may help, and you can try that instead of a Vitamin E bath. You can also give her a Vitamin E supplement, which helps with dry skin.

Great question! Oakley can get 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight. For her weight, I would give her 3,000mg. You can get her dog specific fish oil pills from a pet store, but human ones are fine as well. I hope this helps!

It could be Cokey has dandruff. I'd try giving her a bath with a moisturizing shampoo for dogs. You can also add some fish oil to her diet. She can have 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined. I hope this helps!

You could add in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement to help with this. It helps to moisturizer the skin from the inside out essentially. Also you can bathe him in an oatmeal based shampoo and a crime rinse afterwards. Below is a link to a good omega 3 supplement that I like. https://www.chewy.com/vetoquinol-care-triglyceride-omega/dp/57308?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Vetoquinol&utm_term=&gclid=CP7d9Z629dQCFQgQaQodDMgNpA&gclsrc=aw.ds I hope this helps!
