| Remedy for dry skin? I believe Triss had dry itchy skin. She is scratching a LOT. I checked every square inch for fleas, and there are none. Also, I haven't changed anything, so I don't think its an allergy.(That I know of.) Is this something that requires a prescription from the vet or is there a way I can help her out at home?

| This cold weather and the furnace running in your house a lot probably are contributing to the skin condition. A good shampoo & rinse can help. I just posted this in another thread -- but hope this can help you too. Most of these will require a waiting time -where you shampoo & then wait 3-10 minutes before rinsing, then the conditioner will probably be the same way. So you want to make sure you have the bathing area really warm before you start the process. Also, rinsing is the most important part of a bath. Let me make a couple of suggestions for shampoo & a rinse. This one was recommended by my holistic vet - this is the website for the shampoo, Phytoclens Herbal Shampoo - you can buy from them. natural herbal treatment - tomer laboratories - natural quality herbal remedies I would definitely find a good shampoo -- this one contains: PHYTOCLENS Herbal Shampoo Phytoclens Himalayan Cedar Shampoo contains the natural essential oils of Himalayan cedarwood (Cedrus deodara) and Eucalyptus leaf oil (Eucalyptus globulus). Phytoclens use in a regular regimen promotes healthy skin and coat. This is what I found about those ingredients oils of Himalayan cedarwood Cedarwood Himalayan Essential Oil, Cedarus Deodora Eucalyptus leaf oil Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil, Eucalyptus globulus Or this is also a good choice for a shampoo & a rinse that will help dry skin & at an Excellent price! HyLyt Shampoo (8 oz) and this rinse Relief Creme Rinse - 8 oz At the very least find a really good oatmeal shampoo. Numerous brands have good oatmeal shampoos I'm also wondering what type of food you are feeding. There could be an allergy issue. Your baby may also benefit from Missing Link being added to the food or at least of salmon oil

| Thanks for the info. Where would I go to look at items like this? I guess I never paid too much attention to shampoo. I just use 'puppy tears' which is supposed to be hypoallergenic and doesn't have soap or detergent in it. I don't think its very moisturizng though. (ok i see you edited it, I posted before you had links on it.)
