In this video present the real case of a Pomerania that developed Alopecia X after suffering a swipe of heat. His owners received the erroneous council that recortarle the peel would avert future swipes of heat. However, the swipe of heat is not related with the quantity of peel, but with the prolonged exposure to high temperatures, fault of ventilation or focus of intense heat. Any dog —from a Chihuahua until a Bulldog French without hardly peel— can suffer a swipe of heat.
The problem arose when, following this recommendation, recortó the mantle of the Pomerania more than the had to, in this case to tijera. I clear in the video that does not import if it uses machine or tijera: when it exceeds the height of security of the peel or works zones that never have to recortarse, augments drastically the risk to originate a follicular atrophy, what can give place to the Alopecia X.
The mantle of the Pomerania has a vital function:
His double layer is genetically designed to fulfil this function and preserve it is essential for his health.
Also I explain that each Pomerania affected by Alopecia X evolves of different form. There are dogs that recover completely, others partially and others never. When an owner asks me if his dog will recover the peel, never give a himself or a no, because the reality is that it does not know . The peel speech: it appears, it evolves, self-evident, and each case has his rhythm. It can recover in six months, in two years or not to recover never.
What himself is indispensable is to make always the treatment, so much if it recovers the mantle as if no, because the unprotected skin needs constant cares: hydratation, regeneration and brake the follicular atrophy to reactivate the natural cycle of growth of the peel.
In the video also show how arises the new peel:
The important is that, once begins to cover the body, although some zones take more (like the tail or the thighs),the recovery of the mantle already is under way.
This Pomerania has been recovered in Can Xiu-Xiu by means of a specific treatment, individualizado and focused exclusively in the Alopecia X. We feel us very proud of the result obtained and of the progress of each dog that treat with all our knowledge, experience and dedication.
