Zinc Deficiency


Recommended Posts

Hello I have a 7-year-old husky and I need any information that I can get on zinc deficiencies and how to treat them.

She started scratching off the fur around her eyes and muzzle a couple of months ago. 

I took her to my vet and after tests and a couple of weeks she is convinced that it is a zinc deficiency that is common in Huskies.

My vet has had her on zinc tablets since it started and it actually looks like it's getting worse I now have to keep a cone on her so she doesn't scratch it throughout the day and when I take her back into the vet for her checkups the vet says she thinks it's getting better but it clearly isn't. 

 

Any advice or help on treating a zinc deficiency more effectively would be extremely appreciated thanks everyone.
