dirtdog 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 heres a few pics and one of the dog cheers dirtdog Quote Link to post
undisputed 1,664 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Not sure if its mange or not....there are two types of mange folicle mange is harder to treat than the more common variety which responds to the benzo treatment. The flakey stuff could be dead skin caused by the bushing or it may be diet the only way to know for sure is a trip to the vet Quote Link to post
dfee 1 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 heres a few pics and one of the dog cheers dirtdog i would still give benzo a try and a jab of penaccilin or anti biotics.no harm in trying.why is taking him to the vets a no no,dog doesnt look that bad to me.good luck.

undisputed 1,664 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Unless the dog is ill or has an infection of some kind Anti-biotics are pointless Quote Link to post
dirtdog 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 theres no sores apart from a few red spots here and there heres another pic ive worked with this dog for years when my mate had him.i never seen the scabs before Quote Link to post
BROCKFOX 1 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I can highly recommend this product EKONEEM http://www.ekoneem.com/ its all natural and lasts for ever and is also a excellent price per pot I think its only drawback is the smell :sick: but there again owning terriers im sure we've all encountered worse smells Quote Link to post
TOPPER 1,809 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 give the dog a bath with coal tar shampoo or one with zinc perithirate in it [ most dandruff shampoos ] then treat it with benzo and leave it on this should do the trick , benzo will also stimulate the hair folicule to grow , its good for thin coats over a few months it will thicken them up well Quote Link to post
