Question

Hello Sir/Mam this is Arijit...I have a golden retriever dog..he's suffering from a skin problem..may be it's called 'canine skin disease'...can i apply raw Coconut oil on his skin?

Amber Da Silva, DVM · Accepted Answer

From the look of his skin, I would strongly suspect that he has problems with mites or fleas and a secondary skin infection. Coconut oil will not be effective to treat any of these conditions. I strongly recommend that you seek veterinary care for him so that he can be properly diagnosed and treated.
