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.

Rash on my huskies lower lip Img_7512Need some help with my baby Brock. Brock is a 8 year old Siberian husky. He suffers with allergies and itchy skin. My dog is so sensitive to meds, foods, anything that doesn’t sit right he throws up. This rash showed up out of no where. It started with small yellow crusty flaky skin that was ichty around his mouth. Since April, I have been cleaning it with an anti microbial wipes everyday it has chlorhexidine and ketoconazole in it. I have been adding coconut oil to reduce the red inflamed skin.

Fast forward to now, it’s been 2 months since I have been cleaning it. (Its not itchy to Brock anymore)It looks way more inflamed and it has spread more down . When I clean it brown skin peels off and a black color now appears around his lip.

I am worried I’m over cleaning it and I’m making it worse? Or if my baby has a Zinc deficiency? Reaching out if anyone has dealt with this or experienced this with any of your animals. I just can’t put him on antibiotics because he is so hypersensitive throws up and liver ALT goes up! Any advice will help. Thank you.

Hang in here, while I haven't there are folks who have dealt with Zinc Deficiency who'll be able to guide you ... from the symptoms, that's what it sounds like, btw.

it could be zinc. I use a product called zinpro by Boreal for my female who when younger showed signs of zinc deficiency. Once cleared up I stopped giving it to her and haven't had issues since.

zinpro is great, jack was on it for all his life once we ruled out everything else and landed on a zinc issue. he also had a chicken allergy and some filler issues in food, so he was on a limited ingredient food for the last few yrs that also kept the zinc outbreaks down.
i would give it a go, i got it on amazon, he got 1/2 tablespoon every day, some dogs need more, others less.

So I discovered my dog actually has this issue too... was wondering if the discoloration on her lower lip was just some mark, but no it looks like this zinc rash.

I bought the zinpro tablets. Been giving her one a day for two days now. She seems to have no issue with that. Thinking I should up it to two a day as the directions say? How long does it take to see if this affects the rash?

Slowly work up to the directed amount. Too fast and it may cause stomach upset. It took a couple months I think before I started to see things settle down with mine.
