Hi and thanks for your post! It is very hard to say what exactly the issue with Kali's skin is without examining her first. Common skin issues in dogs include mange, bacterial infections, allergic dermatitis from an environmental allergy such as fleas just to name a few. You may consider getting Kali on a flea preventative but I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian so Kali can be properly diagnosed and receive the most appropriate treatment. Thanks again for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
