Skin condition on my 8 month all lab

[fabian87]

Hi, my 8 month old female black labrador starting having this skin condition 2-3 weeks back and I think it is getting more serious. Before I bring her to the vet which is not that easy in a remote place that I'm living in, I just want to see if there's anyone here that can identify or help.

A little description, it is dry, a bit flaky and the flaky skin feels hard on the touch. I think it is itchy because I saw one of the spots is bleeding slightly very likely due to her scratching. Currently it appears in small spots below her mouth, and the larger spot (about half a thumb size) is somewhere between her neck and her front leg, and fur on those spots are felling off.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Looks to me like it could be ringworm.

Fleas (flea allergy dermatitis), yeast, demodex... could be anything... A think a vet visit is in order, preferably a dermatologist.

Looks like Ring worm. Would go for a visit to the Vet to find out exactly what it is.

Fingers crossed this clears up quickly for your girl.

Ditto on the ringworm. Regardless......you need the vet. Sorry!

It could be ringworm. Wash your hands after touching the area. Ringworm is not serious but it can be transferred. Our foster dogs used to bring it into the house and I would have to treat mine as well.

I hope you can get her checked.
