Shedding Dog?
Could Be Problem
Dear Doctor: My dog seems to
shed continuouslx but nn brother's
dog hardlv sheds at all. They are
both part Sheltie. Why the dif
fer e nee?
Answer: Without knowing more
details, an educated guess is that
one pup is an indoor pet and the
other an outdoor pet. Shedding is a
natural process triggered primarily
by temperature changes and
amount ot" light to which the animal
is exposed. Outdoor pets shed
routinely twice a year ? in the
spring when the winter hair drops
out to make way for a lighter
summer coat and again in the fall
when the light coat is replaced by a
coarser, thicker hair growth.
Indoor pets shed the year around
in reaction to lack of exercise,
indoor heating and extra hours of
artificial daylight.
Shedding can be controlled by
careful, daily grooming with a
comb, best started when the animal
is young. Excessive hair loss may
indicate serious health problems
and should be discussed with your
veterinarian.
Dear Doctor: Every summer our
dog gets a red rash on his stomach.
We hear him scratching all night
long. The veterinarian gives us
some ointment tor ihe problem. I
do not think it does any good
because the dog just licks it off. Do
you have any suggestions?
Answer: Rashes of this nature
can have a number of causes:
external parasites, allergies or
hormonal problems. Each can be
treated successfully, but you need
to ask your veterinarian to sort out
the cause. If he cannot, you should
seek a second opinion.
