Many friends have golden retrievers at home, and they will find that they don't know why the golden retriever sheds (hair loss), and the golden retriever seems to be itchy. Could it be too hot?
What should I do in the face of my beloved golden retriever dog's hair loss (depilation)?
Don't worry, hair loss (hair loss) is a common disease of golden retrievers. Here we will introduce some causes and treatments for golden retrievers.
I. Is the golden retriever partial or full body shedding?
First of all, don't be particularly nervous, we must first judge whether the golden retriever is partial or full body hair removal?
If it is local, then it is probably a skin disease.
Among them, such as cocker, golden retriever, Shar Pei, etc., are more prone to skin diseases than ordinary dogs.
Therefore, we can peel off the hair in the severely depilated area of the golden retriever dog, and carefully observe the state of the skin, whether there are parasites, mites or fungi.
If you find red spots or small red bumps, it can basically be diagnosed as mites. Take the dog to the hospital to inject ivermectin once a week, basically for three weeks.
If there are other skin abnormalities, then go to the hospital as soon as possible to diagnose what is the cause, so as to determine the treatment plan.
Second, if the golden retriever is depilating the whole body, we must pay attention to the following situations:
1. Do not use bath liquid other than pet-specific to bathe the golden retriever, and do not wash it too frequently;
2. Don't stay in the house every day, get out in the sun, exercise, but don't get too much sun;
3. Don't eat high-salt rice that people eat;
4. Another aspect is that your golden retriever lacks the care of your family, causing the golden retriever to suffer from separation anxiety, so it is possible that the dog will also chew on its own leg hair.
Get rid of these bad habits. Generally speaking, the phenomenon of golden hair depilation will be relieved. If there is still obvious hair loss after a period of time, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis. It may be fungus or other dermatitis. If it is fungus, you can
Three, normal physiological phenomena remove the above reasons, then we consider it to be normal metabolism
Golden Retriever will change its hair in spring and summer, which is a normal physiological reaction. When it changes hair, we use a needle comb or a row comb to carefully comb the lost hair from head to tail.
Pay attention to nutrition during molting, eat better dog food, eat less cheese (half a slice is fine), and if possible, eat a little natural seaweed powder to enhance immunity and increase pigmentation, which will also affect the dog's hair.
