Justin i had a dog doing the same thing during the summer months. I talked to some people about it and a few of them asked what i fed i told them the blue sportsmix they told me that the protein to fat ratio was to far apart. So i switched to the black bag and sure enough he started growing his hair back.

Justin...I don't think it is mange mites...but if it is a bad case of mites then I would give a 40-60 pound dog 1.5 cc's of ivomec under the skin and the following week 1 cc under the skin and the week after that another cc under the skin again...
let us know what it is when you find out...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I bought a dog that had skin problems similar to what you described. Vet had me give him ivomect for 60 days and bathed him in medicated shampoo to prevent staph until his skin healed. I increased the dose every so many days. He cleared up and he was also the only one in my kennels it effected.

Justin I have become a real believer in the probiotics. They don't have to be a forever thing on all dogs but I have fixed some allergy and coat problems on my yard with them. They are simple to give. Get a tube and give a couple clicks on the dial for a week then a click a day. It was the first thing my dogs would eat. Sounds like your pup is allergic or has an allergy. Could be the dip you used or a certain ingredient in your feed. Dogs are as different as individuals as we are. These kind of problems happen a lot in the tighter bred dogs. It was the case with both of mine and they were two different breeds. Probiotics fixed both of mine. Hope you figure it out.

Did you ever figure out what the skin condition is/was? Can you post a pic of the skin so we can see what you are talking about? I'm interested in seeing what you are talking about because I have a dog that is starting to show some spots similar to what you are talking about.

I don't know what his dogs had but I have several now , my black plott gyp especially that has developed a staph infection . it has been so dry here for so long then when we finally got some rain they blew up and looked like they had been shot with bird shot . it is staph the medical routine is cephalexin and a bath with medicated shampoo that contains sulfer and bentine . I immediately started the ceph. and baths when it started and they have stabilized and looking better . it is all about the dogs ph levels on their skin . dogs have staph on their skin at all times but their body regulates it until something happens to throw them out of balance [ like dry hot to wet cold ] or a sudden change in diet . good luck to all and it ain't that hard to treat at home .
i'm glad this post was brought back I was wondering if anybody else's dogs were going thru it with the change in weather and was fixing to start a new thread .

It is just odd to me. I have 8 dogs at the house and only one shows of any sign. Looks like small patches of hair that have just gone missing. No scratching or biting at area and everything else seems fine. Dogs are in kennels and kept clean.

yep I have around 20 dogs on the yard and just three have it . it just happens sometimes no matter the routine or cleanliness of the dogs . their body's just get out of whack and it will flare up . the sulfadine shampoo sold at most feed stores and tsc have the right ingredients to solve the problem and cephalexin or fish phlex will put them back in order .
