My dog keeps getting a rash and is loosing a lot of hair. What can I do.?

He keeps scratching and is loosing too much of hair. I can see his skin and it is red and some places blotchy. He is a stray that i have taken care of since a pup and has had all his shots. He also keeps getting some black stuff in his ears. Which I have to clean every two days.|||Take him to the vet, there is a lot of possible causes hypothyrodism, an automimmune disease such as lupus, could be a bacterial/fungal infection, mange it a possibility, allergies, But you need to know what is causing first to be able to treat the problem correctly, as each condition requires a different treatment, often a vet will give steriods(prednisone) to help heal the problem fast and give relief but it does not address the root cause of the problem and that can take some testing inorder to learn the answer otherwise the oroblem just keeps reoccuring|||skin sounds like demodex mange needs a vet


ears could be mites and also needs a vet|||fungal and/or bacterial infections.





get him to a vet so he can be put on medication, and dont let him come into contact with other dogs between now and then.


.|||What do you mean, what can you do? What part of VETERINARY SURGEON dont you understand - the "vet" bit, maybe?|||treat its rashes so it will stop scratching|||I would take him to the vet. He will give him a mild steroid shot and give you meds for him for about 3 weeks. He probably has canine eczema. One of my Brittanies gets it about once every couple of years. The meds work like a charm. good luck|||Your pet must have some allergies. Take him or her to the vet and usually they give you a pill to administer daily. The black stuff in his ears sounds like ear mites. Ask your vet when you take him ,,,,,,,,,the vet will give you drops to put in each ear several times a day. That will resolve your problem. Good Luck!!
