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. |

| It's most likely a skin condition. Possibly allergies or mange, but I have little knowledge on the medical side.
I don't know where you are, but it sounds like you need to find a good vet ASAP. I don't know your definition of "Many doctors" but I think you need to look some more. You are not going to get a diagnosis on an internet forum, just people telling you to get your dog to a vet. |

| You need to get off the forum and start looking for a good vet. Whatever it is, it looks advanced and extremely painful. No one here can help-a good vet can. |

| It looks like you're still on line waiting for the magical diagnosis. Do you live near a university? perhaps they have vets there. You must go to a vet, like Sara and AnyaLuv said. A vet needs to do skin scrapings to determine proper treatment. I'm no expert, could be what Sara said could be ring worm or a zinc deficiency which is common in huskies, however only a vet could determine and diagnose. Please get him to a vet and make sure they do skin scrapings. Some thing are easy to fix, some are tricky to fix, but you have to go. |

| In addition to skin scrapings, it may be helpful to ask your vet about zinc responsive dermatosis. It is very common in the breed, resulting from a zinc deficiency, but most vets don't think of it when diagnosing. If it is ZRD, which presents the same symptoms, it is easily remedied with a zinc supplement. Doesn't hurt to ask your vet about it. _________________ |

| Val, I mentioned ZRD as well, from what I understand though, a vet would still have to do scrapings to determine this, yes? I also have read that over treating for ZRD is almost as bad as not treating, hence why a vet needs to diagnose and give proper treatment. Have I read all this right? |

| Looks VERY much like Zinc Deficiency (ZRD). I would present that information to the vet and make sure they can do the blood work and skin scrapings to get an accurate diagnosis. ZRD is treatable if that is what it is by supplementing with zinc supplements, just as Val has said.
Good luck! _________________ |
