Ci Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just a quick question. Tex has developed quite bad dandruff on his back and rump. Now that he is much better I washed him this morning in an oatmeal shampoo for dandruff and the amount of fur that came off him was incredible. He looks alot better now and will do it again in a few days. Could that just be a reaction to how sick he was and all the surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky-Dog Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Not sure to your question but our two boys shed extra hair this time of year, specially at wash times. In summer they are shorn regularly for heat,ticks and shedding of hair inside. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ci Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) He is a Staffie so has short hair. I don't think it seasonal as it was too much. He is pied colouring so easy to tell where the hair is from and it was from where the dandruff is. He looks alot better now so that's why I am wondering if it's simply a reaction to everything he just went through.

Taliecat Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Stress can cause dogs to drop more coat than usual. I see it with my boy (amstaff) every now and again, especially if his food isn't agreeing with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ci Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 He has definitely had some tummy issues through all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Dandruff can be a symptom of a food intolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs shed skin just like they shed hair and it can occur mainly at cost drop.........even short single coats moult, as you have noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ci Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I just washed him again today and he didnt lose anywhere near the amount of fur that he did the other day so I think it is just a reaction to all the surgery etc that he has been through. He is looking much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-o Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Dandruff can be a symptom of a food intolerance. Yes, especially in Staffies... very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yes Davo ☺ Sonny my BC had a major food intolerance issue & he had what seemed like instant chronic drandruff, mainly around his hind quarters. It cleared within 24 hours of changing him to an almost raw/ grain free diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
