K9 Companion - Skin Complaints
To all you dog owners out there... Do any of your doggies suffer any allergies in this sunny weather; any skin complaints?
Out little Yorkie suffers terribly with sensitive skin, her eyes go pink and puffy, flaky dry skin; basically all her pink bits are going black, and her black bits are going pink. Even her lady area gets puffy and swollen, the vets reckon its a skin allergy... How does your K9 companion cope with allergies? |

Yes I have a westie with allergies and he gets scaly sore skin patches/scabs. I think its grass/pollen as its a summer complaint. I use a natural product called Dermacton. There is a shampoo bar, spray and cream. It works better than all the vet remedies tried, and unlike them no side effects.

We've been to the vet again who has now given her a big whopping anti-inflammatory injection, more antihistamines and some more antibiotics.
All the vets we have seen reckon its a hypoallergenic skin compliant, her tummy has gone pink again which is a good sign, and the Chlorhex Hibiscrub shampoo is really working on her dry skin; its the swelling we now need to get down. We have seen a dozen vets, they don't think its cancer, but our main vet will do a biopsy in six weeks if the swelling hasn't gotten any better. She is ok otherwise, but you can see its getting her down/depressed, especially when she wee's; because it stings. I just wish dogs could talk... |
