Skin has been super flaky, she bites and itches her fur has been falling out. Ted patches on her belly almost rash looking and scabs in her ears
It sounds like your puppy is experiencing quite a bit of discomfort with her skin, and I understand how concerning this can be. The symptoms you're describing—such as excessive itching, redness, scabbing, hair loss, and flaky skin—could be attributed to several potential causes. These might include allergies, which could be either environmental or food-related, parasites like fleas or mites, or even a skin infection.
Since she's not currently on any flea and tick prevention, it's important to rule out parasites as a potential cause. I would recommend starting by checking her skin and fur closely for any signs of fleas or ticks. If you do find any, treating her with an appropriate flea and tick prevention product could help alleviate some of her symptoms.
For the flaky skin and redness, you might consider bathing her with a gentle, hypoallergenic dog shampoo designed specifically for sensitive skin. This could help soothe her skin and reduce some of the flakiness. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue that might further irritate her skin.
Given that the issue has been ongoing for a week and involves multiple areas, including her ears, it would be wise to monitor her closely. If you notice any worsening of symptoms or if she seems to be in significant discomfort, I would recommend consulting a veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly suggest treatments such as medicated shampoos, topical treatments, or dietary changes if allergies are suspected.
If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
