BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 What can I give her if it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ice gets bits like that. Although not so much recently. When he had sore looking bits I would put Sudocream on it (he hated that lol) he tended to lick a lot of it off but I think some must have remained coz it did heal up the tiny blistery bits he'd get. I think people are recommending fish oil? I know I give mine sardines occasionally and their treats are dehydrated fish skins which they love. I think that's helping maybe?. The thing with Zrd as you probably know already is that the calcium restricts the absorption of the zinc which is why when giving extra sources of zinc its best done outside of meal times.

Emma Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 A few days. I think it might be helping to prevent it more than anything. It's hard to tell as the red patches would flare up and then subside of their own accord anyway. Somewhere like over the course of a week or so it would flare up and then settle back down. On a nasty patch he would get a little blister on there which the Sudocream took care of well. (It's zinc based) Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Another thing that I should probably mention is that most meats have a high zinc content and apparently they're better than sardines lol. I noticed tuna in oil was listed as being good and it's normal for me to use tuna in oil most weeks and the pups will get the oil and tuna remnants.

SamK Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I don't mean to scare you but mine had almost similar symptoms and when we took him to the vet we discovered he was having Dog Mange - a skin problem caused by microscopic mites. Although not fatal, this condition can leave your dog with serious physical deformities if left untreated. So, hurry up and see a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Does look similar , Emma gave me some great advice , I'm starting skyla on some sardines and tuna in sunflower oil (gonna give her one every couple of days) and im putting sudocrem on it too , if it's no better after a few weeks I'm gonna start putting her on zinc tablets too , from what I've been told though is that zinc deficiency causes crusty scabs too which skyla doesn't has Sent from my E6653 using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elenamarie Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Sarah has been diagnosed with ZRD. While she has some small patches on her muzzle it's mostly around her eyes. When this issue popped up I started a thread on it with photos and the like. If you're interested, it's at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
