Dry Skin Bumps on back

[mix123]

Hi, Recently my Hanna has had some bumps of dry skin appear on her back. They make the fur even kind of lump up. They aren't red and she doesn't try and scratch them so I dont think they're itchy. They just look like bumps of dry skin. Any ideas what would cause this? Her skin has been a little flaky lately...maybe its just dry skin causing them? Thought i'd see if anyone had seen this before I got vet.

Can you post a picture of them? Could be hives or an allergic reaction.

Agreed... Allergy reaction. What food do you feed?

I will post picture later. She gets nutro venison meal and whole brown rice. We've gone through 3/4 of a big bag. Prior to this she was on the same but lamb and had runny poops. So we switched her. Maybe this one is causing the bumps and dry skin.

Could it be the rice? (Grain)

Nutro isn't that great of a food, might be two stars at best. Maybe look into a better food. Here is a link to a lost

Plus, how often do you bath her, sometimes bathing too much will cause dry skin.

Hi. We don't bath her too often. Maybe once every 6 weeks. We're going to try the Nutro Fish Meal and Brown Rice and see how she does. Started moving her to it today. If things dont get better in a few weeks we'll try another brand maybe without rice. I will post pictures of the bumps soon.

Maybe try some coconut oil in her food....
