My bitch, who is pretty much completely blown coat, has extremem dandruff with tiny little scabs along her back. It seems to be mostly centered along the lower part of her back but there are some on her neck and a couple little spots on her sides, nothing on her belly area. It just started and seems to be getting worse. Nothing has changed in her diet or anything else. Any thoughts? Thanks!!
Give her a bath in Mane & Tail, rinse her and rub her down in Mane & Tail conditioner. Don't rinse the conditioner completely out. It will absorb into her skin.
One of our bitches has alot of estrogen in her body during heat and the hair follicles get clogged and she has had a staph infection that sounds like what you described. We treated with antibiotics and were also cautioned not to use wire brush on her .
