Answers:
Try Johnsons Cradle Cap Shampoo, the one they use for babies. It was recommended to me for one of my puppies who had dandruff and it really cleared it up.
My Vet suggested I gave her a teaspoonful of Evening Primrose Oil with her food once a day. This makes the skin really supple and stops flakiness.
My family used to have a golden/Labrador mix with long black fur, and in it's old age it got really bad dandruff. The vet suggested we feed it a spoonful of cod liver oil with it's wet food. Supposedly it makes their fur shinier and healthier, and it made the dandruff go away after a few weeks.
Sounds like your dog has picked up mange. This is caused by a mite and is best treated by the vet. The vet will take a skin scraping and look at it under a microscope to determine what type of medicine is appropriate. Don't wait. It doesn't get better on its own.
u should make sure it is always moisturized with a special cream a vet will be more than happy to help u..... my dog had the same prob. we used this cream.. forgot what is was called srry..... and if ur dog sleeps in a kennel at night make sure that only half of the cage has blanket and the other half bare DOGS LOVE IT THAt way and it will help ur dogs skin! when my dog had this propblem (he is a yorkie) we gave a hair cut so that he had really short hair..maybe u should try it!
hurry!! go to the vet, this sounds a lot like mites, and the vet can give him either a shot or something to put on his skin. the shot works a lot better though. i have three guinea pigs that have mites right now. don't worry, this rarely kills an animal.
get some omegas (oil) in her diet i would put hamburger or bacon grease on the food i put it on my dogs food once a month this keeps skin Oily and the coat shines if you don't want to go that route get Avon's skin so soft oil rub it in the coat a couple times a week this also keeps fleas away
