Huskies On The Go Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Me too. Haha. I think if I take her to the vet one more time she is going to bite someone And thank you. Yeah your probably right, your husky has had enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Her age may have something to do with the amount of fur she's blowing, too - at just about a year of age, she's likely losing her initial coat and getting her first real adult coat in. Fish oil might very well be helpful - I usually just give the fish oil capsules, but on another thread, someone had mentioned that salmon oil was the best option... BTW, and she's lovely!

Just plain fish oil capsules? Like the ones I would take daily? I saw some of the salmon oil at petsmart. I asked someone if it would help and they told me no since her coat is falling out. Hahaha. Figures. Thank you. I will try one of them, probably the capsules first and see how she does. Is it normal for young huskies to shed more when they blow their coat for the first time? She was lovlier when she had fur. Hehe. Thank you (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you (: Skyla shed about the same out on her first blow BUT that's probably because she's sooo thick coated , I'll add some pics ov her first blow once I get on my laptop Sent from my ST18i using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Yep - my crew scarf them down like candy when I pass them out! Either oil will help, just not with the coat she has in now. It will help the next coat to come in nicely. Yes, often, but not always - it depends partly on the time of the year and the age of the dog at the time. My boy will be 2 in July, and he lost part of his coat in early summer, but then held on to the rest as he eventually pulled in his winter coat. His guard coat is pretty ugly and in need of a change, right now! She'll get that nice, full fur coat back soon enough - although maybe not until fall!

I would love to help with her future coat. Her coat now looks, awful! But I love her as much as I did when I saw her with her plush coat. I think I can wait until fall (: thank you for the information and advice !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 has anyone using brewer's yeast? what are the pros and cons? As I recall, it's high in B vitamins and is good for keeping bugs (mosquitoes and others) at bay... http://www.ehow.com/about_5085660_benefits-brewers-yeast.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
