• Misskiwi67 Posted : 12/20/2006 9:54:58 AM If you just got her, she should get a checkup from the vet anyway, so I'd have them take a look. Schnauzers are predisposed to several different skin conditions... but it could be dry winter weather too... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jessies_mom Posted : 12/20/2006 9:57:38 AM   Welcome to idog; when you said a small piece of skin dropped off, do you mean dandruff or a larger piece of skin? Dogs can get dandruff and it looks the same as what we get; if that's the case, your vet can recommend a shampoo and conditioner that will help. I use Epi-Soothe shampoo made by Virbac but there are others that are good. Adding fish oil capsules to her food can also help; there are many different kinds made for dogs. Sometimes changing the food can help too; what was the breeder feeding her? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Angie Posted : 12/21/2006 1:36:31 AM My Min. Schnauzer has also had dry skin probs before. We had to go through a couple of different dog foods before finding one that didnt dry out his skin so much. We also supplement w/ salmon oil, and it has worked wonders. You can also use an oatmeal shampoo when you bathe your pup. Good luck! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 1/4/2007 3:30:27 AM fish oil and vitmain E need to be given together, the human kind from the store is fine. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
