Hello all, I have a gorgeous litter of pups--4 girls, born on Jan 3rd. I have already bragged about them here-father is my Ch. Mikey (info and website below) and mom is my Callie (Braespruce California Dreamin) whom I co-own with her breeder, my friend, Jan Stevenson. I have 2 sables and 2 black and tans.? They are BIG pups-healthy and progressing normally-their eyes are starting to open, and they are gaining weight--and the sable girl I am writing about is right now the biggest one in the litter.? I weighed them last night-2 of them are FOUR pounds, 1 is 3? 3/4 lbs and the smallest (who is NOT small) is 3? 1/4 lbs. the big sable girl has for the past several days had a spot on her back where there is like a flaky or scabby spot--only thing I can liken it to is like cradle cap on a human baby.? It does NOT bother her--or her mom--the hair is normal looking-but there is almost like a crusty dandruff or something on the skin there.? Very hard to describe.? I remember seeing this before on a puppy--and it cleared up by itself and went away, with no lasting effects or anything. I did put some baby oil on it last night, I am at work now so will see when I get home, but i thought I would ask the knowledge here on the list to see if anyone knows what the heck this is and why it is there and if I should do anything about it???? I DO NOT HAVE FLEAS--so before you all say it is from them--those horrible creatures are NOT in my house.? NO FLEAS ON PUPS. THANKS for the info, Cheri Hunt----Cheradon Shepherds Ch.
