My dog's seborrhea isn't getting better. Should I see another vet?

You can start with the medicated shampoo, if within a couple weeks you do not see enough improvement- take him to the vet vet in order to get it checked and treated. some cases especially if caught early will not require antibiotic treatment.

Hello and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern! I like the Lord of the Rings reference with Legolas's name, I am a big fan and can say that this is the first Legolas dog that I have heard of. I like it! It may take more than 2 days to see any changes with the area. If it is worsening, I would certainly contact the veterinarian and let them know as something else may need to be prescribed. The products I like to use are listed below and can be found online quite easily. I hope these help! If the symptoms persist and the rash does not go away, you may need to consider switching the dog food to see if this is a food allergy. If Legolas has been lying in the grass, this could be a grass allergy and I would recommend bathing him after he has been playing in the grass each time. 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 Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly or whenever he comes in contact with grass 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area 2-3 times per day until resolved 3. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules 4. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent

There are a lot of things that could be causing this appearance to the skin, and it may not be easy or cheap to figure it out. I would recommend that you keep working with the vet. Baseline blood work, thyroid hormone, testing for Cushing's disease, skin biopsies, food trials, flea preventatives, etc may be needed.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to allergies. A secondary infection is likely and also needs to be addressed. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and new carbohydrate). If that does not seem to be the issue then you are left out having to check for environmental allergies which require blood and/or skin tests. Allergies can be very frustrating to deal with at first but so rewarding at the end when we are able to treat them effectively!

Dermatitis or a skin infection can look as your describing. An antibiotic prescribed by your veterinarian may be necessary. If Rascal is itchy he may also need a medication to stop the itchiness and help the skin to heal. I recommend having your veterinarian examine Rascal to get his skin treated appropriately.

HI, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Summer! Your Vet has tried a lot. My suggestion at this point is to see a dermatologist. I would have him on Nexgard or Bravecto to cover fleas, demodex and scabies despite the injections. I would start an omega 3 fish oil (see link). I would also do several seeks of an antibiotic and antiyeast. I would also use cytopoint. The dermatolgist can do skin testing as well for environmental allergies. You can try a thin layer of the quadriderm cream on the areas once daily but he can not lick it so you have to use an E-collar. It also will only help the symptoms you see not the underlying cause of his allergies. Do not use it for more than 1 week. I wish you the best https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19121

First thing I would do is brush Raskal daily. This helps distribute the coat's natural oils and massage the skin. There are pet shampoos designed for dogs with dandruff, which you can get from a pet store. I would try using one of those on him. Do not overbathe him, however, as that can lead to drying out of the skin. Follow the directions on the dandruff shampoo and do not use a human one! Only use one labeled for dogs. You can add an an omega-3 fatty acid supplement to his diet in the form of fish oil pills. He can have 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/ DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight. Finally, it could be his diet causing the problem. I personally am not a fan of Blue Buffalo, as are many of my colleagues. There have been too many recalls on the product, plus proof they have no quality control over how their food is made. In addition, vets have reported seeing many health problems in dogs on this food, including skin problems and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The truth is that grain free food is a fad, and there have been no proven scientific benefits to a grain free diet. In fact, research is coming out that the use of lentils in these grain free diets have lead to taurine deficiency, causing heart disease in dogs later in life. I would consider switching his diet to something containing grains to see if that helps, such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. A visit with the vet to discuss his dandruff problems is also a good idea. Best of luck, I hope this helps.
