Hi all, I am new and really would like to see if anyone else has experienced what I am going through with my Dobie.
She is 5 years old and i would say about 3 years ago she slightly lost hair on her back but nothing to worry about really. In the past year this condition suddenly spiralled, I talked to my vet and they said it can be how these dogs go when they are all brown. Anyway, i felt a bit sad and she is such a lovely dog.
Things went from bad to worse around Xmas time, I had been putting a coat on her as she lost so much hair so fast, I tried to eliminate all sorts of reasons why this was happening. On Xmas day i took the coat off her and her back was covered in horrible lumps and her hair was falling out root and all. I was so upset and she was boiling. Since then her back has been scabby and flaking, and the odd few lumps have been appearing but nothing like it has been.
Over the past few weeks, she is improving and her hair bizarrely seems to be growing back in the places she hasnt had hair for such a long time. I just hope it continues.
Sorry for rambling
Anyone else had similar issues with their Dobie's?
