Hi this is my first post on here but am trying to see if I can find out what wrong with my pup.
As far as I'm aware he is a dogue de Bordeaux but can not guarantee this as I got given him as he was neglected, later I found out he was only 7 weeks old but any way when I got him he had no hair on his body and very dry flakey kind of cradle cap like skin. I obviously took him to the vets as soon as they were open. I have been many times but they still have no idea what it is. He is now 18 weeks old he now has hair but his skin is still very flakey, he has had scrapings taken but found nothing. The vet doesn't know what it is so can not treat it but can only try to manage it with twice weekly medicated shampoo.
Does anyone know what this could be ?
Or ever experienced it?
I have searched the Internet but all that comes up is mites I know for sure the is not the case as he has been treated for mites and fleas every month since we have had him! Plus our older dog being a rotty has not caught any thing.
