Why is my dog having skin problems? Scratching so much she bleeds & loosing hair
March 8th, 2010 | 
Author: Before I never noticed any problems with her, she seemed pretty fine to me. But then again, I’m not home often. My dog didn’t have baths very often, as I’ve been told it’s not exactly good for her to be bathed a lot. My mother gave her a bath the other day though, because she was smelly with this dog shampoo that doesn’t have a list of ingredients on the bottle besides it states that it has some kind of treatment for itchy skin. Afterwards, the same night, I came home and saw my dog was itching like crazy, bleeding because of it, and when I went to pet her, her hair fell right off. Days later, we’re still having the same problem. According to my mom, she’s had that prob. before the bath. I’m wondering if it could also be her food, because we feed her PURINA.
The funny thing is, YEARS ago, our other pets had this skin problem. Our old dog and cat (who had a severe case of it).
Please, I only want knowledgable answers on what this can be and what I can do about it. Shes my baby and I want to help her!
fleas might be the problem. that or skin irritations and allergies. try flea shampoo and if that doesnt work, take her to the vet to get her skin checked. hope this helped =]
