We too have a brown and tan miniature dacshund with balding on chest and ears. We have had numerous test administered at the vet with no real resolve. We were giving a liquid med.
Orally that would help were it a mite problem that had not been detected, but still have no real
Progress. He does not appear "itchy", there are no fleas. We have three other dogs, Italian
Greyhound, and two mixes, they have no symptoms. I'm excited about trying the foods
Without wheat filler. The vet did say dacshund do have more "follicular" problems.
