Hey Rev Charlene!

Several things concern me re: 12 yo dog and losing weight.

It is not typical for a dog with mange to lose weight - a wolf, yes, for myriad reasons but for a dog this doesn't normally occur. In addition, if it IS mange, then to see it in a 12 year old senior means something else is going on.

12 years of age is a noble age for a bird dog. Weight loss in an animal of this age is often associated with the onset of renal failure.

My advice is to take this dog to the vet. The vet can do a blood panel to determine if the kidneys are out of wack. This information will allow the owner to make some choices; maybe a dietary change is in order to help put the weight back on and extend this dog's life. If mange is present, if the vet diagnosed it - or even if the vet hasn't seen the dog and mange is only suspected - Ted's mange dip, used as outlined, will help with the itching and hair loss.

Hey Rev. Charlene!

While this dog may have mange, the weight loss is not typical for this condition. I would suspect an underlying issue is causing the weight loss. In a 12 year old senior, renal failure is a common culprit.

If the dog is experiencing mange like conditions on the skin, the mange remedy will help, but I really feel you need to see the vet to rule in/out kidney failure. This knowledge will help the owner in knowing which diet to provide to support his senior bird dog.
