Couple questions...

My male pup is now 6 months old and he is still working on growing his fur back (mange). Is there a difference in skin type/coloration that might lead him to not grow his hair in very quick? Is there any type of special conditioner out there I should try?

Also, he's been fed Canidae since i brought him home. Is this grade of food causing him to grow slower? I read somewhere that fillers and crap like that cause a dog to grow too fast and cause unnecessary bulkiness. Or is he growing normal? I see pictures of people who's dogs are 6 months and look full grown. Does the Hemphill/Wilder bloodlines run smaller?

Are these conditions normal for the little guy?


There you can see his back.


His neck - no hair at all.

 

Hemphill/Wilder actually tend to be bigger dogs...at least all the dogs i've seen...conformation wise he looks fine. He's just a pup. Canidae is a great food! His hair will grow back, it will just take some time.

 

Thanks. I guess I'll just keep waiting.

At least he doesn't think he looks like a nerd lol.

 

Try Nustock to help grow back the hair.

i got a doberman that has red mange and her hair on the face will not grow back. what type of mange does your pup have...the vet told me that there was a 90% chance of all hair coming back,
