Skin diseases in dachshundsQ: Along time ago, my then-vet, who was a dachshund person, told me that dachshunds were prone to develop a skin condition which could result in hair loss, skin lesions and a nasty odor. my last male, who died couple of years back, had it so bad we had to have him put down. now my female, one of two, approx 7 years old, seems to have developed the condition; her skin stinks, although there is no significant accompanying hair loss and few skin lesions. we bathe her often, her coat looks glossy and sleek for a mahogany, but in a day or two, she stinks again. as they both live in the house with us and love to lounge on the furniture, this is creating significant odor problems. help ???
