Doberman with skin problems …. color dilution alopecia?
I caught a doberman from a rescue organization yesterday. I was told I had an infection of the skin and drugs that would be good as new. I'm already in love with this dog and not worry about their hair but ….. I'm trying to get input on what I can wait …. now that I've done some research on the net, I think that may have diluted the color alopecia …. He is a fawn boy 2yr Dobie and has only normal hair foot ……. the rest of his body has very fine hair. The rescue organization as a parasite found emaciated and with infection of the skin. "Which means also had no or poor nutrition may also have caused the hair loss? If anyone has any experience with Dobermans and problems skin, please let me know what you think, and what I do now? Omega 3 supplements? If so how much? It weighs 65 pounds. The vet diagnosed him bailouts with "Alopecia w / crust" My vet looked next week … but advice now would be great! Thanks in advance
Color dilution alopecia is not indicative of any health problems, is caused by a gene linked to the gene for dilution is not caused by poor nutrition or other health issues. It is simply the loss hair and does not require large processing, simply keep the skin clean and free of anything that might block the follicles and cause skin irratation. If the dog has scabs, crusting, irritation, etc., then you may have an accompanying infection. If possible infection or scabies has been treated and continues to be the hair thin, then you know you have CDA. Dogs that have CDA will not recover its shield, but can live perfectly healthy lives differently. Omega 3 and 6 can help only maintain healthy skin, usually a dog of that size can get about 1-2 teaspoons. quality good fish oil a day. As hair loss in people, does not mean they are healthy and there's not much I can do to re-grow hair that is not to keep the dog in good health and keep the coat clean. Oh, and if the hair gets really thin, be careful of sunburn. Sunscreen use sunny day if the dog does not have a coat to keep the sun away.
