Help Needed! Mabel's new skin problem

[ChrisRN]

Last night we noticed that Mabel had a couple of little spots on her face on one side, where it looks like she's losing hair. Today it looks worse. Anyone have any ideas of what this might be? It doesn't appear to be bothering her. It's bothering me more than it is her!

the last time Buster had something like that we started adding salmon oil to his meals and they all healed up and the fur grew back.

I know you don't have any other dog, but it almost looks like when Brutus would try to hang off of Frankies face, Frankie would get little bald scabby spots. Maybe she is scratching creating the same effect? Maybe try a little antibiotic ointment and see if it clears up? Kisses to sweet Mabel.

eh, not sure, but could it be a form of mange? Otherwise. it looks like what Rosalie said -- another dog chewing on the face

I agree w/the gang… Walter gets like that when he's been playing around other doggies!!!

 

[ChrisRN]

Thanks. I hope it's not mange--and she doesn't play around other dogs--she attacks them! We were gone for 4 days. I don't know what happened while we were gone with her diet--probably an overdose of treats. Maybe she needs some coconut oil in her food?

T Maybe she needs some coconut oil in her food?

so, is coconut oil good for her skin?
