Chief Apache a little clarification

[evolutionkennels]

Only thing I can think of is when the hair falls off along the spine of a dog. Means the dog had a heat stroke before

A buddy of mine has a female that has a long scar running down her back. Just wanted to know where it comes from.

Good call, Evo.

Now that I think about it, this happened to one of my bitches back in 1990 ... who grew up to be Desert Kennels' Razor, POR (http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum/bulldog_profile.php?dog_id=7687).

My friend had a dog have this problem recently. They couldn't figure it out, blood work, skin scrapes, multiple vet visits, etc. So, they set up a camera on the dog. He was rubbing his back on the opening of the dog house, purposely, until he had zero hair down his spine. So, they put him inside in a house crate. It cleared up with NuStock in about 3 weeks.

No sir, 100‰, if a dog has a zig zag hair loss all along its back, it has had a heat stroke.

That would be extremely hard to do where they live, being as, it's VERY rare to be over 75 degrees any time of the year. And in their dogs' case, it was 100% him rubbing his back on his dog house.

A dog rubbing the hair off his back won't have a scar. It will simply be missing hair. I've had 2 dogs with heat strokes, and it literally BURNS the back along the spine. It fries the skin, hair, all of it. We had to cut eschar, due to the full thickness burn, off the dog's spine with a scalpel to get to the actual flesh for it all to heal as it should. It took a long time for it to heal, and it took even longer for the hair to grow back as it should. Nu-stock never touched the scarring, and neither did anything else we used those years ago.
