Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hi husky community, recently my 7 1/2 month pup has an empty fur patch on his hind leg (only one). At first i thought it was going to be his first shed, but he hasnt shed anywhere else other then that one spot. Taking him a bath, I notice it was kinda red. It does not seem to irritate him and is not ichy for him so im just wondering is it fleas? the minge? or just normal shedding.

Thanks!

I would take this to the vet... Stark had a patch like that and it turned out to be Demodex.

How old is your dog?

Is that in an area that touches or rubs on the ground when he is laying down on hard surfaces? It's hard to tell in the pictures. I know you said it's the back leg, but my pup has thinning patches on the sides of his elbows from laying on hard surfaces. If you want to bring him to the vet just to be safe, there's no harm in that.

I'm not sure if rubbing it on a tree would do that... did the vet do a skin scraping & analysis?

Nope the vet said that she needed more "evidence" in the case of demo mange. She said somthing about "needs more systematic patches" or sumthing along those lines....
