blacktabs 3 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Nothing worse than watching your dog go down with skin trouble. Firstly can i ask what colour the dog is if its a black one it could be deomadetic mange with it being a bull type also is it the first time its happened as shes a good age for it to appear now. whats she bedded down on whats her diet at the moment all the cures mentioned may work but best to be sure as which one you need to try. If it is normal mange and not deomedtic then benzo is the way to go. If its deomedetic then washing in aludex and ivomec jabs will shift it but be carefull washing her in aludex as it dont suit bull breeeds dont let her chill after the bath. Easiest way to tell the two apart is nomal mange will have pustules in it and be very inflamed deomeditc less so just a thinning of the coat. But an alergic reaction to bedding or food can produce very simmilar results if it was mine id make sure the diets right first meat veg fish and brown bread biscuit with plenty of oil and eggs, Then make sure the beddings right then id give it a bath and apply bezyl benzoate to the bare patches and see what happens then.atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Homeopathic Sulphur tablets sometimes help with hot itchy skin, but I reckon that dust mites in the house are the cause of my lurcher's problems: very itchy skin, no spots, mainly scratching on sides, chest, armpits and base of tail. Done all the usual stuff, tried Nu-Stock: helped but messy to use. Cereals defo made her worse: spinach is also good for skin probs: to eat not to put on skin LOL. Often the immune system may be compromised in dogs with skin probs. Building up immune system with raw food, no cereals, fish oils etc all helps. Bloody needle in a haystack trying to sort skin problems isn't it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
