Answer
Dear Anatoliy,

Thank you for writing to me about your new Wheaten Terrier.

There are various reasons that could be causing this condition and I could send you a long list, but my concern is that she is so young and having this happen to her at such a fragile age, would, in my opinion, require a medical examination.   

Things to look for would be vaccinosis (bad reactions to vaccinations that are given to puppies), thyroid imbalance (can be discovered by a simple blood test) and allergies. This is assuming that there aren't any skin conditions like ring worm or mites etc etc.  Having ruled infestations out, I would concentrate on the three areas that I mentioned.  

When you know exactly what is causing the condition, please contact me and I will send you holistic approaches to whatever needs to be addressed.

Best Regards,
Shelley Davis
