Hi All, so I'm new to this website, but I figured since I have a dachshund this would be a great way to get tips and learn different things from other owners! Walter is a 10 month old short haired mini dachshund. A few months back he had to go through a few boughts of medication for diarrhea he picked up from a dog park. All seemed to be going we'll but I noticed the skin on his lower back was becoming dry in patches and his hair was gone. We took him back to the vet to do a skin graph and they didn't find anything. The vet gave me some anti-fungal cream, and explained it could have been because his immune system was low due to the diarrhea medication, and this is just an out come of that. His hair still hasn't grown back and he does still have some dry patches. I give him flax seed oil in his food everyday to try and help but I haven't noticed any progress. Has anyone else had this issue, or know what this is?
