matty 52 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Any ideas on these bald batches where pup is scratching? Booked into vets on Monday. He is 7 weeks old no sign of fleas and has been treated. I was thinking mange but pet shop reckon not, any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t worry about it to much probably form a dirty bed or something like that I’d just wash them and should be sound in a week or 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matty 52 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Update, took him to vets this morning, vet said he is not convinced of mange probably just lowered immune system and puppy scratching. He did give us stronghold just incase though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

big sid 1,118 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 could be an allergy but its unlikely all the pups would be allergic not impossible though, but the whole litter could suffer from mange although sarcoptic would leave the skin sore and red but demodic can result in just hair loss either way the vet will do scrapes and hopefully get it sorted, nu stock will only grow hair if the underlying cause of the loss has been treated first and if it has the hair will grow back its self 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But don't think it treats demodic which is what I thought it was. 19 minutes ago, Moocher71 said: Good luck with getting pup sorted ,looks like mange but I'm no greedy vet .
