So pleased for you all, you must be very relieved :huggles:

Excellent news :thumbsup:

Just one thing though- it is possible to be allergic to silver so if you have a particularly sensitive skinned dog, try it on a small area first :thumbsup:

the only problem where left with now is every time we take her to the coast the area always gets burnt and then the fur is lost again(its very thin still) i put sunblock on her the stick form one so she carnt lick it off,but still seems to get burnt,wondered if tattooing would improve the problem.

I can't see it as I think tattooists tell customers to avoid exposing their tattoos to sunlight? The other thing is it's the natural pigments in her skin that's protecting the tissue from skin damage. Because she's lacking these in the area now it would seem that what your doing by applying sunblock is the most sensible action.

Just come across this statement online

She looks for sunblock without para-aminobenzoic acids-— since dogs can be prone to licking up the toxic components in their sun protection.

Might be worth looking into, I note that pets at home sell a sunblock stick by pethealth but I'm sorry I can't find a list of it's ingrediants .

I've had awful problems with sensitivy to sunblock myself, even the hypo-allergenic sorts; I saw an allergy specialist and he said it's very common source of irritation to sensitive skin.
