Hi! My 4 month female lab had her 3rd bath today but soon there were white particles (dust like) present all over her fur. Want to confirm if it is dust or dandruff or any other skin condition.
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
It looks like dandruff but did she play with any white dust particles after the bath

She sat at terrace but I didn't observe her rolling in dust. Also, she does nibble her arms and legs sometimes.
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
The nibbling can be because of infection or they do that when they get bored
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
If it's not dust and if it is dandruff u can see it when u pass ur hand through her coat
If it is dandruff it's because of dry skin so try to massage her with coconut oil a day before her bath that will help to reduce the dry skin

Okay. Anything else that can be done to soothe her skin?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
U can use oat meal content shampoos to bathe her and give some skin supplements like salmon oil twice daily after food

Is it okay to bathe her with dilute neem water?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
U can use the neem oil or neem leaves to dilute the water with which u bathe the pet

Hello, my 16 month old golden retriever seems to have developed a lump on the side just below his ribs. This is the first time I'm noticing it so it must have developed over the last couple days or so. It seems to be beneath the skin (nothing visible over the skin) and movable while examining. Could you please suggest what to do? It doesn't seem to pain or affect him at this point.

Hi doctor, My dog Jerry is a scared puppy (4months old). It’s been 1 month we have bought him but till now he is resisting himself and not playful with others. He doesn’t go to anyone and shiver a lot. At home he is playful but sometimes still resists. In short it completely depends on his mood to come to us. We all are giving him lots of love and affection but still the playful side of his is not yet come out. What else should we do on this scenario ?
