Ingrown hairs?

Breeder Talk
  • T

    Help ! It seems like my girl has developed a few spots , looks all over and super close up magnifying glass and iphone flashlight and yup it's a In grown hair !?, and some dandruff by the looks of it ?, what can I do to solve this problem ? Anything over the counter I can use ? Or is it an issue for the vet ? Or is it due to giving her blue buffalo now instead of Now Fresh ? The higher protein have something to do with it ?? Or could I have caused it by not washing out the shampoo properly ??, I just noticed them yesterday and today and her bath was 3 days ago

    I have never had ingrown hairs caused by food… are they like little pimples? All of mine have gotten them every now and again. I just "pop" them and put a little antibotic cream on them

    All dogs have dander...

    They look like little white heads really , too her to the vet she got her DHPP and the vet had a good look at it
    Told me to just leave them be and not bath her for a week and see if they clear up and when I do bath her to use a hypoallergenic shampoo and rinse (vet office had it -can't remember the name ) was also told about hills advantage for food option once her current one is done
    (Could be a food allergy -but then it would be all over the skin) also got some
    K9 Advantage multi ;)

    Are you bathing her once a week? Unless she is rolling in yucky stuff or there are human allergy issues, I would say maybe too many baths regardless of the white heads… again.. all of my basenjis for 20+ years have gotten them off and on, some more than others... kind of like us humans with pimples...

    No I'm not this is the first bath she's had ever, but the vet told me to shampoo her after a week and use a rinse too, just to see if that helps , also to keep the coat from drying out .

    I would be very surprised if from a shampoo..but again, IMO… not something to really worry about unless she starts "worrying" the spots...

    Vet pretty much said the same , if it gets worse or she starts itching at them or other symptoms then take her back

    @senjisilly just now saw your reply. Thanks for the pedigree website. I knew about it and it’s a great resource.

    @tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

    @tanza said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: you know nothing about breeding ... In all fairness, @tanza, you don't have any idea where my breadth of knowledge lies. I have previously stated that I have no desire to become a breeder, but that isn't the point. Is it? You are venting because I am firmly standing my ground. We've been through this discussion before and I'd wager that we will do it again. Over the same thing, ad nauseam. either allow this or ... I understand that you are frustrated. @eeeefarm said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: It is also fair to state any provable fact, but that should be left up to the individual, e.g. "my puppy has "such & such" condition, and my puppy came from "so & so" breeder with this existing condition. I agree with this, provided there is a way to prove that the illness could have been prevented by the breeder. That doesn't mean that every illness is breeder related. For example: Parvo and Giardia are widespread issues commonly contracted from one infected animal coming into contact with another, before or after the pup leaves the breeder. A pup with Giardia isn't necessarily a result of poor care by the breeder because it would be almost impossible to determine where the pup was infected. I think we should avoid referring to a breeder using subjective terms like: bad, irresponsible, etc. You cannot prove an opinion. If someone sees a statement (like that) about them and decides to contact an attorney, you and I aren't the ones who would be going to court. @JENGOSMonkey Thank you for your two cents (I liked the image, too). You are right. Most of what I do as a "moderator" is banning people who create profiles for commercial websites to improve their Google rank. I feel like if I kick them off right away, they won't bother us with inappropriate posts. I have banned over 2,000 profiles (so far), looks like I have 3 or 4 more to tend to today.

    @lindenbaum I've long forgotten about this thread. If I am remembering correctly, I left it up so that people could read the flags that it may be a puppy mill and be able to make their own decision regarding that. I am deliberately wording that as "... may be... " because I do not have any personal interaction with "HH" and therefore cannot speak to it. (please note that I removed your "HH available breeds" list, no offense)
