it got almost everything u want to know.

poodle shouldnt have shedding problem.

This is the same condition my fren's white poodle had. The breeder treated the skin prob himself - shaved the affected areas bald, put some medication on the wound which has pus on it. Then told my fren;s it's a small prob, just dandruff. If the poodles doesnt recover in a week, he will exchange 5 poodles with that. Becoz my fren loves that white poodle so much, she decided to trust the breeder and thus bought it.

I brought my fren + her poodle to the vet. It was NOT a minor problem. Vet diagnosed it as HOT SPOTS. Not Internet de hot spots but to decribe the skin problem. One spot one spot on the body, causing fur to drop. The vet then shaved a bigger area only to realise that there are other smaller affected areas. He washed the wounds with antiseptic, put some medicated powder and prescribed antibiotics. My fren has to do the same for a few weeks until skin totally healed.

Perhaps u wanna shave ur poodle clean to facilitate better administration of treatment??

I would said shedding in poodles means bad genes loh. unless it is caused by some skin problem which can be treated n not the gene problem. why not u consult other vet on this?cos we dont see ur poodle and no idea what's going on. morever, we are not professional vet to judge whether she has skin problem. just toking from our experience in poodles. Hope this helps!
