I will give them small bites nutro chicken and rice and can organic skinless chichen mixed together and the only treats they get are oven roasted lunch meat and greenies. When Jackson is raw from stratching I will put this topical spray on the raw area. Here is the name: gentamicin sulfate with other ingredients that are covered up with a label of all things so I have a hard time reading exactly what it is, but it will help with the healing. I am frustrated too! I thought the summer brought this condition on, but not really. If it is what they eat, then perhaps organic is the best way to go, and I will have to do that. I hesitate to change foods, since their stomachs are soooooooo sensitive to say it mildly! |
Organic is the only way to go when feeding home cooked and if doing vegetables juicing is best - zuccini is very cleansing per nutritionist donia sea. I use pure aloe from lassens and whole foods which is soothing to itched areas. I have read sulfate can be aggravating and i have tried many topicals. I just started reading back of itch relief shampoos and all had oatmeal and aloe so went for the purest form of aloe and oatmeal you can buy the oats at whole foods and ground them in a food processor to get a 100% natural for oatmeal soak. I have read to soak paws in epsom salt but have not tried. We also wash paws nightly and use huggies hypo allergenic no perfume wipes on her paws.
Neosporine is another life saver as good to put on elbows and belly when they itch raw as it is a topical antibiotic to prevent skin infections from itching and derm recommends it as well. I buy it at costco in bulk. Do not put on places where they can lick as petroleum products not good on stomach.
I opted for aloe as if they lick it then it is safe and good for stomach as natural.
