Pup losing hair in splotches

[caseyolee]

Well, my 17 week old Pit pup is losing her hair!

First off, I've been having trouble with fleas in the house. I can't seem to keep the fleas off of her! It's weird b/c NONE of my outside dogs have them!
B/c of the fleas, she's been getting baths quite often (not with flea shampoo). I thought about changing her food, but it's a good food (all natural), and she's been eating it fr4om day one, so I don't know.

She has splotches on her. They're only about as big as a dime, but they're there. She has one between he shoulders, one on her foreleg, one on her cheek, and a couple others.

Do you think it's the scratching that's making her lose her hair in splotches, all the baths, or could it possibly be allergies?

Silly question but do you use flea products? I know it's hard to find before 6 months, but in the worst cases, a collar should work.

For the spots, Tips has one on his leg, the vet looked at it and just gave me some medicated shampoo to use 3 times a week. It looks better now, at least the hair is growing again.

I had a flea collar on her, but it didn't work at all. I also spray the house down with flea killer once a day. I did give her a bath with flea shampoo for pups, but I only did it a couple times....not letely.

I have medicated shampoo....maybe I'll use that. It's for horses, but I think it will be ok for dogs too, I'll ave to read it

Okay, my mom forgot the mango and we didn't have bell pepper.... SO I improvised.

2 salmon fillets
two large tomatoes
handful of FRESH basil leaves
handful of fresh parsley
two cloves of crushed garlic
sprigs of rosemary
several lemonbalm leaves and spearmint/peppermint leaves
two lemons
olive & sesame oil
salt and pepper to taste
drizzle of molasses to sweeten it

I cooked the fillets on one side until they were pink and lightly browned. flipped them over and browned the other side, then turned the heat back and added all the other ingredients.. I let all of that stew for about ten minutes until I couldn't stand the smell any longer and ate it. The salmon was melt-in-your-mouth and the sauce was very pleasant.. sweet and tangy and tomato-basiley an d yet you could definitely taste the lemon and garlic. YUM. I loved it. I'm full and my mouth is watering remembering the taste. Seriously, it turned out AMAZING even though I couldn't do the original recipe.

I would get her to a vet and check for mange or ringworm.

My dogs were allergic to flea bites and would get hot spots . Collars don;t work . Please check with your vet for K9 Advanmtix
