Inevitablue Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My dog goes in for a IV drip today and I nicely ask to not shave his leg. So I pick up a dog with a massive clipped area Any hints for creams, supplements, ANYTHING to get his hair to grown back as quick as possible (short haired, double coated breed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'd be interested to hear as well, Bella had a small op a month ago and the hair's still not completely grown back where the IV went in. I expected to be all grown back by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Try Royal Jelly tablets (health food store) and shampoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't think you can accelerate it sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just make sure they are on and excellent diet. Their is some natural silica supplement for people that is supposed to improve hair and nails, but not sure if it makes any difference to the growth rate.

SilverHaze Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have had some success with Eqyss Mega-Tek Coat Rebuilder You can order it from Pets on the Park. Has worked sometimes, sometimes not. But i keep it handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippets Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If I knew how to make hair grow I would make a cream sell it to bald guys and be a multi billion-aire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocow Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 that's so frustrating. Sadly not much can be done just feed them a high quality diet which you already do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) If I knew how to make hair grow I would make a cream sell it to bald guys and be a multi billion-aire Exactly! Unfortunately there is no way to make hair grow quicker. The only thing I can suggest is that you find a vet who deals with show people, follows instructions and doesn't shave unnecessarily large areas of hair, my vet takes off the absolute minimum. There is a huge difference between a vet who deals with breeders and showies on a regular basis and a 'pet vet'.

Salukifan Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 A bit of chalking might help to minimize the appearance of the shaved area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 If I knew how to make hair grow I would make a cream sell it to bald guys and be a multi billion-aire lol, bald people have no follicles! there never will be any growth (except for plugs maybe ) I want to nourish the follicles as much as possible so they go into overdrive and pump out hair shaft like its an Olympic event :laugh: I have him entered in 2 weeks, so I will play around with the chalk. I'm wondering, in theory, if rubbing Bio Oil might help. Off to the chemist I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyB Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Good luck... but I hate to tell you, his hair will not be back in two weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecutter Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Try Royal Jelly tablets (health food store) and shampoo. I used this when Ziva was desexed. A friend had a JS who was desexed a couple of weeks prior and Ziva's hair has grown back much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to show my boy two weeks after having blood taken from the jugular vein- so a nice clipped area on the neck. There was a noticeable dip in the fur but it wasn't nekkid!!

BC Crazy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have had some success with Eqyss Mega-Tek Coat Rebuilder You can order it from Pets on the Park. Has worked sometimes, sometimes not. But i keep it handy. Another vote here for Eqyss Mega-Tek Coat Rebuilder & I order it from Pets on the Park as well. I use this product a lot on my 2 Border Collies. They swim heaps in salt water which can dry their coat out if it's not in tip-top shape. Also if the sea's are rough or there are a lot of boats out, I have them wear life jackets & sometimes they get rub mark's in their coats from them. So I just apply this product to the coats when necessary to boost condition & growth. I find it work's really well for us & their coats have never looked better. Diet plays a very important part in this too though. Good luck, hope I was of some help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastings Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Monash vets are great do not shave if asked not too and then minimal if unavoidable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I used to tell my vet, that if they shave the leg, they don't get paid! I took a retired bitch in to be spayed last week and they didn't shave her leg at all and I didn't even mention not to shave her! It really does pay off to train your vet and their nurses! :) As others said, a bit of chalk to hide any skin colour showing, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

LizT Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Try Royal Jelly tablets (health food store) and shampoo. That only helps with the moulting cycle, not shaved or clipped hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks guys :) I'm surprised already at how the hair is already looking longer. Not that it's going to happen overnight. The vet is a friend, and did what I needed done for free, so I couldn't really chuck a hissy fit at him :laugh: (but I felt like doing that!!) Some great suggestions here, especially the Royal Jelly for the bitch between coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynka Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I don't believe you can accelerate hair growth. You can: Improve the condition of the coat that is growing back with both nutritional and externally applied products Use grooming products that make the coat appear thicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
