Stranger Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 let me rephase that, if you post a picture we could give you more advice, Parker has a red mark which was caused by catching his face, this got agressive, so probably not the same thing lol..shouldnt rush my replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 It could be one of several things - allergies are possible, especially if his bowl(s) is/are made of plastic; I've known several who "broke out" around their mouths when plastic bowls were used, although a variety of allergies could be a cause. Another sort of irritation could have caused a hot spot - hot spots are particularly common in areas of the body which tend to be moist (belly, arm pits), or areas which are licked a lot, so the mouth area could also qualify. The third potential cause that comes to mind is ZRD, which involves a zinc deficiency in the body, and is quite common in Huskies and other related (Nordic type) breeds... Good luck!

ICE & SHADOW Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 is your question concerning the whiskers below their chins, then yes thats normal. Evry Husky I have seen has them, some are different lenghts and concealed by fur. if it's the redness near that area, then it could be an infecteded whisker, kind of like a humans infected hair. if it's spreading then sound more like a rash, maybe a allergy or recation of some type. contact your vet.

Dakota1982 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 She had an infection thinks it was one of the hairs ingrown, got some steroid cream to apply twice a day and the hair should grow back in niot straight away though so 5 days if not clearing up to take her back.
