We haven't been treating consistently with flea meds but the ticks are horrid and the husky was scratching so we gave them revolution a week ago. Yesterday my husband was pulling some of my akita's loose fur and found a patch that completely came away. The hair and some black stuff leaving it bleeding underneath and now she's been licking it. It might be a scab that came off with it but I am not sure. The rest of her coat is thick, shiny on top (there's some undercoat I still need to rake out) and everywhere I checked including around the bald area the skin is healthy, dirt free, proper color....
We're going to the vet monday but I wanted some opinions. Personally I don't think we need to go and it was either a spot that reacted to a dying tick or an allergy we need to figure out. However, she is due for rabies and I want a fecal because she's had minor symptoms of internal parasites that improved but didn't go away after deworming so might as well get it all done.
