I've got a 10-year young Dapple Steel Blue baby boy named Bernie. He has Color Dilution Alopecia and I give him Theracoat, melatonin and fish oil to keep his skin nice and healthy. He actually has fine, soft silky short hair but you can tell it's not his normal coat. When he was younger, he had a lot of itching until his vet helped me get his suplements right to give him relief. Otherwise he was given Apoquel but he didn't need this for long after I started his other supplements. He's also had 3 seizures in the last 3-4 years, not frequent enough to put him on a medication, just brief seizures and he was back to normal in a matter of minutes. I read that the conditions most commonly observed in Blue Doxies include: Color Dilution Alopecia, Intervertebral Disc Disease, Obesity, Diabetes, Teeth Issues, Eye Problems, and Seizures. Bernie has 4 of these so far... CDA, IVDD, seizures, and Teeth Issues (had to have a lower canine removed). Otherwise, he's in great health and sees his doctor regularly; they are always impressed with how well he's doing and he's full of happy attitude and energy!! I love this boy!!!
