It is a non-greasy formula so it really doesn't make her fur that greasy looking...It is worth losing some of her soft looking fur for a little bit while we fix her poor skin  .
People still think she is soft and smells good though  It just adds some shine i guess. So far it has minimized the itching, she still scratches some-but i think it is in places I didn't put the lotion as it is hard to cover all areas when you have trouble getting under her massively thick fur . The area I covered this morning seems to be scratch free though! |
I will have to try it... the cream from the vet is REALLY oily because it is actually an ear cream... i guess it has to be oily so it drips down into the ear. But I use it mostly on her belly. It is really quick.. a day or 2 and the scabs and itching are gone.. but they keep coming back. I actually think she is allergic to mold... we have lived in a really old house since last summer. She was not nearly this itchy when I lived with my parents. We are currently looking for a new apt so hopefully we will be away from all the things that came back positive on her allergy test... mold, dust and cockroaches. She is also REALLY allergic to grass but she was just as itchy in the winter as she is in the summer and there really isnt any grass around in NY in the winter.
Have to remember to pick up some of that cream this week.
Thanks
