gnipper 6,484 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 My terrier had it a while back and it cleared up after a few weeks with stuff from the vets but I got some good advice off here to use Canisten on it and if it ever comes back i'm not going the vets.

Raymond 618 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Im not too keen on going to the vets. Charge you a fortune and most the time they assume it migh be something its not. The redness between the toes they would probably say it a reaction to food or grass or something. Like you said one of my beagles is getting it on her paws. I havent been in a field in a week.I noticed it coming on my beagle.moisture is to be avoided. When it gets wet it seems to get worse.I stopped bringing the beagle out and keeping her dry and it has stopped getting any worse. Ive been treating the other dog for about a week and a half.She has it bad on her tail,bag tighs,on her back and paws.How long before the dandruff or dry skin goes. How often did you treat your dogs.

derekbrown 176 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 i had problems twice in the last few years,i thought the dogs had a touch of mange both times and dipped them in tacktic but no good.what they had was yeast skin infections and had to go to the vet to sort it.im lucky that the vet i use is an excellent dog man and is not one of these new type vets that charge the earth.i had to get a lurchers chest muscles stitched last year under general anesthetic,did an excellent job-50 euro.

skycat 6,173 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Some dogs which suffer from fungal disorders, yeast ones in particular, do so because they are intolerant to cereals, particularly wheat gluten. I'd try feeding the dog on a raw diet and eliminating all cereals to see if this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The lad that had the dog before us fed raw all the time.My beagle is on the same diet all the time and she has only got the red on her paws a few days ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
