Re: How much sunlight for a dog? Black fur

[Guest guest]

Ummm who cares about the neighbors. Just tell them it is a bad sore that is

healing. Apollo has hair loss after his last rabies (grrr don't start me on

vaccs) will it be permanent? Who knows. Right now DH is out of work so things

went from bad to worse so I can't run a thyroid panel to see if that is it. I

just tell people he has a skin condition. He is not overly bothered by it. Not

bad itching or anything.

I think a half a hour should be good. Apollo has black fur also.

In the north, we ALL should be taking 1000 IU's per 25lbs of weight.  The vet I

asked was unclear, but perhaps 500 IU's per 25lb for a dog?  The sunlight here

is at such an angle as to be worth little in MN, even in the summer.

A blood test could tell you, though

That is something I am considering adding for both of us.

I will not go in for blood tests and she seems to be setting the pace by going

back indoors when she has had enough. The sun here is pretty strong!
