Skin condition ?
« on: March 18, 2006, 07:43:25 am »
Hi , I'm on here for my sister . She lives in KS and has just brought home a german shepherd puppy today ! She's been visiting her at the breeders for several weeks , but the puppies were always in a barn and it was pretty hard to see in there as there wasn't any electricity . So anyway , now that she has the pup home she's noticed the pup's belly is almost raw and her legs have this scaley ,scabby stuff on them . No vets open until Monday so she called me to see if I knew what she could do for her in the meantime . I've never seen anything like that ,could it be a fungus ? I told her to call the breeder , I haven't talked to her yet to see what she found out but I thought I'd ask ya'll since ya'll are so smart  ;D :-*

It kind of sounds like scabies.  A friend found a couple of puppies and before she could get them in to the shelter we all had scabies also.  The vet dipped them for it but you can also use lice shampoo (at least it rids people of it).

Yeah, it wasn't very fun.  There were 6 of us that got it from the puppies.  But on a side note: Proactiv not only helps with acne but also scabies.  Yep, I tried it and I am the President of the Scabies Removal Club.   :D
