Hair Loss In Dogs Tail

Dog has skin problem with hair loss?

My dog has a skin problem on her back just before her tail and now spreading down the tail, and looks to be forming on the insides of the legs too. The skin is red and brown, some scabs, and some puffy/raised sores. The hair is thinning in these areas and where it has grown back it is short and coarse. It is very itchy and she bites at it and rolls on her back. This happened around the same time last year then went away. But its way worse this time and shes going to the vet, just wondering what disease or parasite this is?

Actually this sounds exactly like demodex mange it’s non contagious. What it is is that all dogs have mites on their skin. When something stresses them or weakens their immune systems the mites attack. This causes the open sores and hair loss. You would need to take your dog in for a skin scraping at the vet it’s around $30 then they can diagnose for demodex or scabies. It’s quick but yes the scraping hurts I hate watching my rescues go through this. It can also get hot. I’ve noticed a lot of my pit sharpei mixes get demodex. Once diagnosed treatment is a mitabin dip…like a flea dip…needs to be done every 10 days til it looks good…dips are around $40 each but well worth it. Good luck. You can also give your dog benadryl and dont worry its safe call your vet for dosage.
