OMGosh, I hurt my baby - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I put her in the tub of Arbonne Seasalt oil and at first she was fine, but today she is so itchy and raw. I feel so bad, I should have never tried it. She isn't dry, infact she feels good but she had a bad allergic reaction to that stuff. I am so upset, I feel just awful. Tori and Candi are fine, they look great.

I feel like such a bad mommy, I should have known better.

She is so uncomfortable. Here are a couple pics. (it looks way worse in real life, much REDDER)

forgot to add, it looks way better now. She had another allergy shot today and she has been soaking in an oatmeal bath.

Glad you were able to find her some relief! You are a good momma, we can't always anticipate an allergic reaction but you got her prompt attention! Sorry for little Lexi!

Lexi's_Mommy · 11-28-2006, 10:20 PM

My baby is allergic to everything and I mean everything. She gets 1shot a week, unless it's a bad week then 2. She can not have treats, she is on a very strict diet, and can only go outside in the winter or for short walks the rest of the year and not everyday.

The Arbonne is all natural and nothing in the ingredients looked bad.

Oh sweetie, don't feel bad. You had no idea. All nature ingredients, I would have thought the same. Thing is that you recognized she had a reaction and got her help. She's very well loved.

Poor little sweetheart...and poor you! Don't be upset with yourself! You were only trying to do what's best for her and she knows you'd never hurt her! Hugs to you and Lexi! I hope she heals quickly! I just wish she could somehow outgrow those allergies! Wouldn't that be wonderful? Let's all pray for that to happen!

Lexi's_Mommy · 11-29-2006, 04:11 AM

Thanks ya'll, she seems to be getting some relief. She didn't itch at all through the night. and some of the redness has gone down.

I just can't help but to feel bad. I should have known better.

I would think salt on dry skin woulld just make it dryer. It is good to keep though. Salt baths when you are sick are helpful. I used too raise betta fish and we would give them salt baths when they were sick

This stuff is in oil, it is a therapy oil. The salt is suppose to heal the skin and the oil moistureizes. Thank goodness, it didn't dry her out...

Which sea salt did you use? Of all the ones available, the Relax (Lavendar) base is probably the safest for allergic types. It is highly possible she is also allergic to anything botanical (which is most of the ingredients). You might want to try just the moisturizing oil added to her bath. There is no fragrance and no salt either. Hope Lexi is better soon!!!
