I have a plott pup out of Mr. Noviske's (spelling?) line..........not that it is important other than the fact that i've heard nothing but great things about his dogs and don't wanna loose this one......


This pup has developed a hell of a skin condition, I am about 100% positive that it is not mange, my reasoning behind this is that I have owned a jagd pup with demodectic (sp?) mange and what the plott has looks nothing like it did and I know its not sarcoptic mange because this pup has been in my fenced pen with a curr and a bulldog pup for months and neither show the first sign of any skin condition which obviously leads me to believe that whatever this plott pup has is not contagious.....

He started loosing hair on his face/ears about 5 weeks ago, I tried nustock/ used motor oil for applying it 3 days in a row then waiting 3 days and repeating the process. I have also tried happy jack mange treatment multiple times (just in case it was mange). I have used over 3 gallons of motor oil on him since this all started and 3 tubes of happy jack with NO results. He is getting worse and has started loosing hair down his back and on his legs........what confuses me is that he does not scratch hardly at all and has zero fleas....... I am bringing him to the vet tomorrow to see what they say but wanted to see if anyone here had any idea's as to what his problem could be....... The only thing I put on him was a 4 to 1 mixture of bayer/permitherin, every dog in my yard got the exact same treatment so I HIGHLY doubt this had anything to do with his condition but it is the only thing I put on him prior to his issues. anyone have any idea's as to what is going on with him???

I meant to say 3 gallons of motor oil and 3 tubes of nu-stock, not happy jack.

   yep could be an allergic reaction to something  . i'm having a senior moment right now but was gonna suggest matbe a fungal or bacterial infection  . all dogs have it but it is usally kept in check by the dogs own system  , but occasionally it will flare up and get out of control and make them loose hair .  damn it's hell getting old   lol .   well i'll be back when it pops into my head , maybe someone else can tell you what i'm getting a headache trying to remember  .   but a vet will do a scrape and tell you for sure , be sure and tell them all that you did as well  .

Interested in what vet says.  My buddy has a gyp that looks like a naked mole rat and he's tried everything.   And I have a lil pup that looks to be coming down with something similar, and these two dogs have never seen each other

Probably red mange or demodectic. The vet will probably tell you to have the dog fixed and to start a treatment that cost mucho $$$$. I HAD a dog with it and i fixed him..... Wink

If you want to try something first, get some tactic from the feed store delute it and pour it on. That stuff will kill any mite that is causing a problem. The problem with red mange is it will come back. But the tactic will knock the mites out for a while. The dog will not be a good dog for breeding though if it is red mange. Good luck

At this point probably best to take him to vet. He probably has a sensitivity to certain chemicals. I would
stop the motor oil thing for sure. I have a Black and Tan Catahoula that when he is healthy has the shiniest jet black coat there is. At least once every couple years things go south in a hurry. Vet took scrapings each time and cant never find anything. I now have a routine I use when he has an issue and have good luck with it. As soon as I see a dullness to his coat are a raw spot are he starts shedding a lot I treat him with Prolate-Lintox, 1 oz. to a gallon of water. Use a wash rag or sponge and thoroughly soak his skin. Once a week for 3 weeks. In between I use a skin moisturizer/lubricant from the dollar store and apply to his stomach and inside of his legs and such (areas with not much hair). Like you NU-STOCK didn't do anything for him.     When he's healthy I have to be careful what I spray on him so as not to irritate his skin. I use
Absorbine Ultra Shield for insect control on him. It has skin and coat conditioner in it and I add Skin So Soft to it. I know a lot of folks will say that's a lot of trouble but I like the dog and that's what works for him. The Vets were no help. Through trial and era this is what worked . He hasn't had an issue in over a year.

A round of cephalexin antibiotics would definitely help. Fish-Flex from pet supply is same as Cephalexin.

that is kinda what I was worried about, I was hoping not but it would make sense due to the fact that within 5 days of applying it he seemed to start loosing hair.

I haven't had much luck with nu stock. I put it on my dogs hot spots for a good while and it never helped. So I stopped and it healed on its own

I have a dog that runs an allergy course a couple of times a yr. I give her some Benadryl and cures it right up.

I have a pit that has real sensitive skin and is prone to reactions from certain things that causes him to itch and his hair to fall out.  I give benedryl to help keep him from itching and then spray him twice a day with vetricyn and it seems to do the trick.
