Toy Poodle Forum:
skin problems

Hi i'm asking for a friend, She is thinking of getting a female toy poodle and today we went to look at her, she just turned 11 weeks old this past sunday. Now this pup is scratching like crazy, she does not have flea's but she does have like little scabs on her whole body. it does'nt look like dry skin. it looks like she has ear mites also as her ears were nasty. She is constently biteing her feet (well scratching it with her mouth). would any of you know what this could be? Is it hereitary or food related? I do not visit this site that often so if you could please e-mail me at parrotlover_99@yahoo.com i would appreciate it. Thanks

sounds like your pup has mange. IT IS CONTAGES. hope you have had it treeted and you need to report the breed.
