Is dog hair loss a side effect of anal gland meds like Clavamox?

It is not common for antibiotics to cause hair fall. It is not impossible, but it is not likely. Are you sure it's not just normal shedding? Excessive normal shedding can happen at any time they are sick and will usually resolve on it's own once the dog is well. I would suggest you put her on a probiotic and a good multivitamin.

I have never hear of gabapentin (neurontin) causing this type of side effect however, I have learned to "never say never" in this profession. So, is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? I don't think so. Here is a link to an article about gabapentin and side effects in dogs. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2764 All of that being said, are you talking about excessive shedding or actual alopecia (bald spots)? If it is just excessive shedding with no bald patches or other clinical signs I would not worry about it. If she seems to have other clinical signs then I would suggest you take her back to your vet for a recheck exam. Hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to post again.

I believe you are referring to the medication Apoquel. I cannot tell much from the photo - is this Bear's back? My suggestions would be: 1. Do an allergy test so you can find out what he is allergic to (if anything). ( http://petslady.com/article/new-allergy-test-my-pet-offers-home-testing-dogs-and-cats ) ( https://www.amazon.com/s?k=allergy+tests&i=pets&tag=petslady-20&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 ) If there are allergies you should talk to your vet about immunotherapy instead of spending time and money on all this other stuff. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/allergy-testing-immunotherapy-in-dogs/ ) 2. Talk to your vet about the possibility of underlying endocrinopathy and test for them (ie: Cushing's disease, thryoid disease, etc) 3. Try using this line of anti-itch products. (Calm by Duoxo). There is shampoo, mousse and spray. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6679-douxo-calm-mousse-for-dogs-and-cats-68-oz.aspx ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6688-douxo-calm-shampoo-for-dogs-and-cats.aspx ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6674-douxo-calm-micro-emulsion-spray-for-dogs-and-cats-68-oz.aspx ) With allergies, you need to find the underlying cause and treat that instead of just trying to just cure symptoms.

I am sorry Emily is not feeling well. It sounds like you have already taken her to the vet and started clavamox. However if it is getting worse I would recommend taking her back for more testing. I think Emily needs blood work and a possible skin scrape. Older dogs can get skin mites, parasites and underlying disease that can make the skin looked infection. I have seen a few cases of liver disease that extremely affects the skin on the legs. You can try to give her a bath in medicated shampoo however more diagnostic testing is really the next step.

Hi there. This would not be a common or expected side effect of Bravecto, so I would be suspicious that something else is probably causing the itching and hair loss. If it continues, I would recommend taking Tinker to the vet for an exam. Possible causes would include allergies (food allergies, or an allergy to something in the environment), a bacterial or fungal skin infection, or skin mites (mange). Your veterinarian can do some simple skin tests if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

Your dog needs to see a veterinarian for a skin scraping to rule out parasites and then a culture to see if there is an underlying bacterial or skin infection. Place a cone on him to prevent licking and chewing.

Hi and thanks for you question. Clindamycin (to my knowledge) should not cause hair to peel off, however, if it sat on her fur for any length of time, it may have caused local irritation. Unless you contact the veterinarian who Rx the liquid form or contacted the product manufacturer, I am unable to tell you exactly what is in the medication that could have been an irritant to her hair. You may want to contact the veterinarian who Rx the product to Misha. I'm glad to hear her skin appears unaffected, however.
