Good morning fellow mini dachshunds lovers,
We just added a new mini dox to our family in November. We have been having a lot of skin issues. Itching, flaking and now the doc says he has a skin fungal infection.
confused Is this common with doxies?
We are using a medicated shampoo, but it does not seem to be helping much. I also switched his food about a month ago to Orijen grain free incase it was a food allergy. And added some fish oils as well. But not helping here! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I hear they tend to have skin issues. Choto has been bald on neck and abdomen since about 8 months old, skin scrappings never revealed a problem. I do have to have benadryl on hand, b/c he does get allergic reactions to things, even last vaccine.
