WHEN MY WHIPPET GETS STRESSED, EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST, HE COMES OUT IN A MILD FOR OF DANDRUFF BUT ONLY ON HIS BACK NEAR THE REAR END!

DOES ANYONE ELSES POOCH SUFFER FROM SOMETHING SIMILAR?

EVEN WHEN OUT PLAYING, IF ANOTHER DOG APPROACHES HIM THAT HE DOESNT LIKE OR IF A DOG ANNOYS HIM IT WILL PLAY HAVOC WITH HIS COAT.

THE SHORT DISTANCE TO THE BATH WILL CAUSE THE CONFETTI! AND, LITTLE THINGS LIKE BEING HUNGRY AND WAITING FOR TEA TO BE READY!

DESPITE THIS HES ALWAYS HAPPY AND CARRIES ON LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, AND A LITTLE GENTLE BRUSHING WILL REMOVE IT UNTIL NEXT TIME.

IS THIS NORMAL?

I DID TRY PRIMROSE OIL TABLETS WHICH WORKED AND IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE BUT HAS COME BACK AGAIN.

I happens to all dogs - more or less. But it's more visible on short-haired breeds, and especially the darker colours. It's caused by stress. The reason is that stress causes increased bloodflow - this cause slightly more "tense" skin(more blood rushing through in the veins) - and any loose or semi-loose piece of skin will come loose and be visible dandruff.

Hope that explanation came out understandable. Haven't explained that in English before *lol*
