Avatar n tn My black toy poodle who is currently 2 years old got dandruff. At first it was only dandruff but now her hair is shedding. She's got bald spots over her body. We only give her dog food for her diet. Could you please help me understand what is going on with her? I will be waiting for your response. Thank you very much.
Avatar f tn My tiny dog has so much dry skin. Its beyond considering it dandruff. I've been giving him flee baths about once a week. Maybe a little less then that. What could I put on his skin that could help this problem?
506570 tn?1215836300 I have a 4 year old Alaskan Malamute, Loki, who has dandruff like flakes on some areas of his skin. His hair is also a bit thinner along his spine on his lower back. I have tried researching skin conditions in Malamutes and found a lot of information on zinc-responsive dermatosis in Alaskan Malamutes. I would love to know if anyone else is giving their dog zinc supplements and how you went about finding out that your dog has zinc-responsive dermatosis.
675347 tn?1365460645 ) It does seem to be more like dead skin-cells She also is not inclined to lick her fur, except the hair-free parts of her belly, (and dog-bits!) When I rub my hands in her fur for a while, shaking loose hairs and dandruff, my hands come away slightly white, with a slightly waxy film on them. She smells very clean, and seems to keep naturally clean, and because I didn't want to get rid of her natural oils I haven't bathed her for quite a while.
Avatar m tn My Dog is a Chow-Lab mix and my dog has this problem for over 6 months now, we have taken him to the vet and my dog already took many vaccine shots but none seem to be working, maybe because its the wrong vaccine. Here is a photo of the problem. http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j369/ashieboy/dog/C360 _2012-01-18-15-51-21.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j369/a shieboy/dog/C360_2012-01-18-15-51-11.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.c om/albums/j369/ashieboy/dog/C360_2012-01-18-15-51-04.
Avatar m tn I returned to the vet and we were now told to try bathing her every three days and increase the ivomec from 1ml to 1.5ml. This did not work either, so the ivomec was increased to 2ml and a treatment of 5mg prednisolone was given for one week along with a treatment of 1 biotin daily. At first this seemed to help but after she came off of the prednisolone she started to lose hair again and the flakes started again. My vet then advised me to give her a constant dose of the prednisolone i.
1292644 tn?1272247122 m not sure but I can tell you an issue that may be similar which my dog faced about a month ago. My dog is a 2 year old doberman/black lab mix. We took him to the vet because he was itching, had light dandruff. The vet said that he was having a allergic reaction to something (I'm in Philadelphia and about a month ago, spring was here and he was outside more). She said it could be anything outside, or in the air. She told us to change his food to one that had fish oil in it. So far, so good.

Avatar n tn Bird mites have to be treated with a bug bomb and the bird or rodent nest removed. Pet mites(or walking dandruff) look like tiny white dandruff that moves. This is treated with a strong flea/mite shampoo weekly for 4 weeks plus the carpet/upholstery must be treated with a flea carpet spray weekly for 4 weeks.
Avatar n tn Hi, The best way to treat dandruff is to use a dandruff shampoo. Look for shampoos with ingredients such as zinc pyrithone, salicyclic acid, coal tar, selenium silfide, or ketoconazole. All of these ingredients have been shown to work on dandruff; to use the shampoo, apply it to your scalp and hair, rub vigorously, and allow it to sit for five minutes so that the ingredients can work before rinsing it out.
Avatar m tn Then I recently contracted pneumonia and was given a round of strong antibiotics. My dandruff disappeared on the 7th day of my antibiotic treatment and has not returned for a couple of weeks now. This makes no sense to me, as I know that dandruff is not bacterial in nature. Do you have an explanation for this?
Avatar n tn I think this resulted in me developing serious dandruff. its been a problem for a while now. I think there is some hairloss and scalp is very dry and itchy. Everytime I run my fingers through my hand i can see flakes falling down. I plan on shaving my head and start applying some cream. Can you recommend any medicine or any remedies. I would really appreciate some help. thank you, max.
Avatar f tn You can tell its dandruff or dry scalp by the colour and if there is a smell present or not. Dandruff is yellowish and gives off an odour.
Avatar f tn Ive always suffered from dandruff and so i used T-gel and capisal anti-dandfuff shampoos, but when i got pregnant my doc told me not to use them because of coal tar and so i stopped, it also says on the back of the bottle not reccomended during pregnancy, its been 9 weeks and my head is soo itchy its driving me mad :( .. Anyone know any good natural ways to get rid of it?

Avatar n tn I have been suffering from dandruff for more than 10 years. I have tried Nizoral, coal tar, head and shoulder, selsum blue etc but nothing seems to help. Especially in 3 area in my head near the centre, I big circle of dandruff forming. They can be almost the size of dime. Its thicken , raised flaky transparent skin layer with dots. I have been noticing this for atleast 4 years now. I scratch and take it out but it rebuilds in just couple of day in the excact location.
Avatar f tn If you suspect fleas, you need to do flea treatment inside and outside and treat the dog. If that is the case, I suggest you contact your Vet and get the dog on a monthly oral medication. Agree also to get him on a better food. Try to find a grain free food with Omega 3 in it. Do a gradual transition over a few days mixing old and new food.
Avatar f tn The first doctor prescribed a steroid cream and told me to wash my hair with dandruff shampoo and put a little of the suds in my ears and on my groin. The steroid cream worked for a couple of weeks and then stopped. A few years later a second doctor gave me samples of an anti-fungal cream and told me to use it. That did nothing. So basically I've been itching non-stop and clawing my body up pretty good for 15 years.
1392168 tn?1280074408 They are mostly light, and flakey, so flakes come off like dandruff. Even if I spend months not itching them, there are still some there. Sometimes, it's better than others and clears up. But it seems to be a constant problem, because, if I get rid of one patch there's just another somewhere else. They are not really itchy unless I think about them, even then It's overcomeable. Not like how a rash might itch. I also have dyed my hair a few times and used bleach.
Avatar m tn My 7 yr old female cat has developed what appears to be dandruff thick skin flakes that slough off. Is this a cat's allergy or a dietary problem?
Avatar n tn t anything visible except dandruff, so is my hair loss without scalp disease? My father has dandruff too but not hair loss. so, is my hair loss associated with tinea? Once I did take pills suggested by a dermatologist but that did not really help.
