<p>Hi Julie, nice as it is to hear from you, this is an old thread, and I actually lost Bailey (Cataluna Son of a Gun) 2 1/2 years ago in Feb 2010, he was 13 1/2 years old. I miss him every day, he was my heart dog. I actually had Rory at the Vet today with what might turn out to be a tumour of some kind, so I'm feeling a bit worried about that.</p>

<p>Regards, Dawn R,</p>

<p>Dawn hi, there is a supplement called Viacutan which comes in capsule form. The vet suggested it but it was an unrealistic price from there. I have bought it from Animeddirect 300 tabs @ £39.45 and it is really seriously good.</p>

Wow, what a smart lad, so shiney. Aside from that sheen, Monty looks a little like Bailey there.<br />
<br />
I'd love to think I'll get Boo Boo back to that good a condition. Thanks for sharing that great picture Barbara.<br />
<br />
Maybe I should take before and after pictures.

Yes, it's a version of Levothyroxine called Forthyron.<br />
<br />
I currently have two dogs on Anti-biotic tablets, and now two on thyroid tablets. I wrap pills in little balls of cheese, and that's alot of cheese balls every day. Anyway it's all in a good cause.<br />
<br />
Dogs......... who'd have them!!!

As you say, very good the vet found out the problem. Starting the treatment will make him better soon, wishing you best of luck with your boy.<br />

OK, an update as promised. I had Bailey at the Vet this morning and she gave him a thorough examination from top to tail. She checked his protate, took his temperature, looked at his teeth, ears and skin, checked his heart rate and took blood.<br />
<br />
Turns out, his thyroid is underactive. (Just what I had thought) Well, strange as it may seem, I'm actually glad she found something, that is easily treatable. So he started on his medication this evening, and as I said before, I have another dog…

So he started on his medication this evening, and as I said before, I have another dog (American Cocker Spaniel) that has the same thing and I saw an improvement in her within two days, so I'm hoping for the same with Bailey.<br />

Zinpro is a product used for zinc responsive dermititis which I had a Brittany that had this condition later in life. It is safe to use and does help coat condition very well. Regrew his in fact. You can just get their buiscuts online if you wanted to add some to the diet. It has no side effects and safe, totally safe to use. Check it out.

You can just get their buiscuts online if you wanted to add some to the diet. It has no side effects and safe, totally safe to use. Check it out. Zinc is what helps with the cell structure which allows the hair to grow or not grow. My dog stopped absorbing it in his diet, so we had to supplement. This is the only form of Zinc which wouldn't be toxic at higher level. You can research it online if you like. Our vet dermatologist prescribed it to our dog. They also make dog food with it. Many snow breeds are born with this genetic defect where they can not absorb zinc in the regular dog foods. So they also use this. But you can read how many are told to try it for improvement in coat condition. It is thought that as dog age they do lose the ability to properly absorb zinc, and this also helps with hot spots too. It claims to improve shedding which I have no clue about though..Wouldn't that be lovely though! Here is one website with their products for sale, Lincoln Biotech is the company that makes it. <a href="http://www.dogfooddirect.com/ZinproDogFoodandZincSupplements.htm?gclid=CIeIkrOi25oCFSQMDQoda3Ib3Q">http://www.dogfooddirect.com/ZinproDogFoodandZincSupplements.htm?gc...</a>
