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

Swati Singh

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

Swati Singh

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

Swati Singh

Okay. Thanks!
