Dog Skin Condition...?
I have a 3 year old fawn colored pitbull who has never had an sort of allergies or skin conditions, she is in great health...She has developed small scabs all over her skin, under her coat...she doesn't scratch or itch and it doesn't seem to be bothering her...but when I look at her skin by pulling her hair in the opposite direction, I can see the scabs, like if she had chicken poxs and then they scabbed over..the scabs are not bad at all there is no puss or anything like that...it looks mild...She is not loosing any hair at all either...Any ideas what she has?
Thanks
Dog Skin Condition...?
Definitely needs a trip to the vet. Things that pop into my mind are a staph infection (generally starts due to some kind of allergy then bacteria moves in causing the pustules), mange (two different kinds), ringworm, general poor nutrition, fleas... Only your vet can tell you for sure and prescribe treatment.
Reply:it may be dangerous so conslut with your vet.
Reply:Go see your vet! Than if you vet says it's nothing dangerous it could be a food allergy. Try to get a senstive skin food. It's go more vitamine E and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which are good for the skin. Your vet will probly recomend one for you!
Reply:I would recommend a trip to the vet, he/she can examine the skin and see if there is a need for medication or recommend a special shampoo to bathe your dog with. Good Luck.

THROAT: faulty functioning of the flap of skin involved in swallowing &breathing...what conditions due to this
....can also affect a persons perception or awareness?
i had problems of this kind a number of year ago, and as well as acid reflux and a feeling of too much air in the lungs [like when you gulp down lucozade or fizzy drinks and the excess gas builds up and you want to burp to relieve the pressure] along with this came a weird feeling of reality being distorted so that people and objects seemed flatter and less three dimentional.
what might be the cause, and does this description coincide with a definate medical condition you know of?
the problem i had has never totally gone away, but seems to have been dormant for a good while.
it is not difficult to breathe IN, but something in the throat feels very retricted and pressured, and you cant seem expell or burp away the feeling of trapped air.
i dont know anything about physiology...is there one flap of skin that channels whats in-coming and out-going or R there 2 flaps: one for/to the lungs %26amp; one for/to the stomach?
THROAT: faulty functioning of the flap of skin involved in swallowing %26amp;breathing...what conditions due to this
The epiglottis closes off your lungs to food and drink and the pyloric sphincter closes off your stomach from your esophagus. If you have had reflux then the pyloric sphincter can get scarred and not open and close all the way. The epiglottis is a different story though. It usually gets scarred from alot of vomiting like with bulimia. These can be stretched back out with a procedure called an EGD. You should really be seeing a gastroenterologist for answers and treatment.
Reply:i think u should go to a doctor it would be the best thing to do
Reply:sounds like a trip to the doctor is in order. Write down your questions ahead of time so you don't forget to ask anything.
Reply:The flap of skin that you keep mentioning is known as "epiglottis".Its function is to close the trachea or air passage when one swallows food,so that the food does not enter into the air passage causing pneumo-thorax or collapse of lungs.Your problems seems to stem from your glottis.Better get your self examined by an ENT Specialist.

Your symptom is closest to dysphagia. My bet would be on a diffuse muscular problem like chronic reflux esophagitis, or an esophageal web http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_... or .
You really need to get an upper endoscopy (esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy, or EGD). Contact a gastroenterologist or have your physician refer you to one.
You've already passed one useful (but dumb) test: the test of time (TOT). Since you're still alive, your symptoms are probably not due to anything gruesome like esophageal cancer or scleroderma. The TOT is a hell of a way to rule out lethal causes of a symptom - wait and see if you die* (also reliable for testing mushroms). But since you already took and passed the test, we might as well notice.
The closest thing to a flap separating the airway and esophagus is the larynx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larynx, disease of which can also cause dysphagia. Ear, nose and throat doctors specialize in this region.
(*but your HMO approves of your choice to keep it to yourself. TOT is the treatment of choice by HMOs for initial screening of all expensive illnesses)

Dysphagia - The sensation of difficulty swallowing. This is a disorder of esophageal transport and is a symptom of an underlying process. The problem is commonly divided into oropharyngeal and esophageal types.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:
Oropharyngeal type
• Choking with swallowing
• Coughing with swallowing
• Weak voice
• Aspiration pneumonia
• Weight loss
Esophageal type
• Pressure sensation in mid-chest (patient may localize pathology to correct anatomic site)
• Symptoms should distinguish whether dysphagia is for solids or liquids or both
• Aspiration pneumonia
• Weight loss
• Symptoms of GERD
• Longer time required to eat meals (patient unconsciously chews food more thoroughly)
CAUSES:
In children
• Malformations - congenital (esophageal atresia, choanal atresia)
• Malformations - acquired (corrosive or herpetic esophagitis)
• Neuromuscular/neurologic - delayed maturation, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease
In adults
• Structural - tumors (cancer or benign), strictures (peptic, chemical, trauma, radiation), rings %26amp; webs, extrinsic compression (goiter)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease
• Neuromuscular - achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis

Is it ok to put oil onto horses dry flakey skin in tropical conditions like Thailand??
I have been helping with some horses in Thailand which have terrible skin problems.The almost dont have any fur left.The skin is dry, flakey and I am sure quite itchy for them.I started to treat them with a medicated shampoo, fungacide, for ringworm and dermatities etc. but the owner of the horses decided to then put cooking oil onto the horses skin.I told him that I did not think it a good idea but he said that the vet here in Thailand said that they use oil on all of the horses in troical Thailand.Anybody heard of this in other Asian countries????

I have used baby oil on my horses before, but there is a better product, called MTG. It really depends on what the dry flakes are caused by. IF it is just dry skin, then baby oil is fine. But if it is a fungus, rain rot or something similiar, you want to treat and get rid of the Fungus. Is she losing her coat as well as having flakes?
Reply:I haven't heard of it in tropical places, but I do know of some people who use it here (US) on their horses. The oil is worth a try- it is commonly used on reptiles and I don't see why it wouldn't help the same type of problems in horses.
Basically, it works like a lotion. Aloe vera gel (diluted form of the plant) I know can work if that is readily available.
Medicated shampoos usually only dry out the skin more while treating the fungal problems, so you would want to stop using that.
If the owner suggested cooking oil, I would massage it in one section on their skin and see if it helps at all. Make sure that it isn't attracting more insects or causing any other problems. If you have another suggestion, try that on another patch of skin and see which one works better.
In the US there is something called MTG (Mane Tail Groom) that is a sulfur based product. It smells awful but you see results within a couple week- it will get rid of every skin problem I have ever used it on (even the ones the vet's medicine would not work on), and the hair grows back faster than with any other thing I have used.
Here is a link describing it- maybe you have something similar in Thailand:

Reply:i wouldn't think this is a good idea. i know a lot of people who use cooking oil to tan quicker by putting it on their skin because the sun rays magnify as they pass through the oil. i would have thought the oil could cause the sun to burn the horses skin. i used to put palmers body butter(for people) on my arab as he used to get dry skin and it worked really good. maybe the oil is slightly different in thailand but im sure the vet knows what he's doing.
Reply:You can add a few tablespoons of oil to their grain which will help with the dry skin. Be careful though, too much will cause them to get the diarrhea!
It really sounds like they have fungal infections, considering the climate. The oil on their coats will only trap the fungus, and will do NOTHING to get rid of it. It might actually make it worse.
Reply:Use a little bit of mineral oil in the grain...not too much. Also, Flax seed is really good for a horses coat. You would put about a handfull of it in the feed

cooking oil DOES work i come from a long line of showing horses and we use baby oil sometimes but cooking oil does work for us
Reply:What the? Yes you should use a fungacide if you have acess to "Simple Green" this works great, when you bath them use a low suds soap (as this will dry out their skin.) rinse with simple green all over, then in the final rinse try putting a little olive oil in the water. it should help. but not cooking oil all over gosh this will just make everything stick to them and not allow their coat to heal.
