Skin
problems
in
pets
are
often
a
difficult
problem
to
cope
with.
They
can
be
difficult
to
treat
and
slow
to
heal.
If
your
pet
has
been
violently
scratching
or
you
notice
hair
loss,
examine
him
to
determine,
if
possible
the
cause
of
the
irritation.
Look
closely
for
fleas
or
lice.
Some
pets
have
an
allergy
to
fleas
which
can
cause
loss
of
hair
and
extreme
discomfort.
The
hair
loss
is
usually
along
the
backbone
just
in
front
of
the
tail.
If
fleas
are
found
to
be
the
cause
of
the
irritation,
the
use
of
a
flea
collar
that
is
replaced
every
three
months
should
solve
the
problem.
Hormonal
imbalances
or
food
allergies
can
be
another
cause
of
skin
problems.
If
you
suspect
the
latter,
change
your
pet's
diet
immediately
to
correct
the
problem.
Many
skin
disorders
are
caused
by
fungal
infections,
such
as
ringworm,
or
by
parasites
as
in
the
case
of
mange.
If
you
are
unable
to
determine
the
cause
of
your
pet's
skin
disorder,
see
a
"veterinarian
for
diagnosis
and
treatment.
Don't

promote
and
encourage
the
study
and
practice
of
the
art
of
dance."
'
Scores
of

have
been

The
adjudicators
will
be

Because
the
Prince
George
Dance
Festival
is
still
in
its
infancy
an
unusual
amount
of
planning
and
organization
has
been
required
of
the
executive
and
the
committees
to
make
this
a
successful
festival.
It
is
hoped
it
will
lay
a
firm
foundation
for
future
festivals
and
that
it
will
provide
a
new
cultural
interest
for
Prince
George.
The
association
is
expecting
to
see
some
outstanding
dancing
both
from
within
the
community
and
beyond.

cles
overnight
as
some
skin
disorders
take
a
long
time
to
correct.
Make
sure
your
pet
does
not
come
into
contact
with
harsh
caustic
substances
such
as
gasoline
or
turpentine
which
destroy
the
skin's
ability
to
heal
itself,
or
other
substances
like
acids
which
burn'
the
skin.
Plenty
of
exercise,
regular
vigorous
brushing
and
the
.addition
of
fatty
acid
supplements
to
the
diet
are
all
conducive
to
good
skin
health
in
your
pet.
TIP
OF
THE
MONTH:
Never
let
a
dog
ride
in
the
front
seat
of
a
car
where
he
could
interfere
with
the
driving,
and
don't
let
him
hang
his
head
out
the
window.
Wind-blown
particles
can
irritate
his
eyes
and
ears.
