Hi guys, just got a new puppy, she is 8 weeks old now. The people we got her from were not sure what she was...ive made a few guesses as to what she could be but just wondered what you experts thought!

Ive attached a few pictures and a video

YouTube - Baby Jayda and Sammie

Thanks a lot!

Cute pit bull puppy you have there. You may want to have her skin scraped at the vet...those patchy spots indicate mange.

she's being treated for the patches already

ah good, so what was the diagnosis?

She looks pure to me btw

My partner said The vet said she has
a little mite/bug thing that lives under the skin and gave her a jab and some spot on treatment for it..we are going back in two weeks for a follow up appointment.

I actually thought she looked a bit like a pit bull (I love pits

)...but I'm in the uk and they're banned here so I ruled it out? :/

Yep, thats mange, its caused by a mite

Its really common in pit bull puppies.

She just is a bit underweight, that could be why she doesn't look "right" to be pure

...she'll fill out tho

Cute lil' booger

Yeah the vet said it was common in Staffs too which is why he guessed she was a staff cross. She was skinnier than that when we got her poor thing. She is putting on weight really well

and has a HUGE appetite now though lol
