Johnny's oiliness is controlled super-well by a shampoo the vet gave called Sebolux. Weren't you trying something from Equinat or Skin-eze?
I'm thinking about mold/mildew just like you. There were hardly any days last week when it didn't rain so mold and mildew counts must be high. I hope this cold weather will help some.
Like Trixie, Johnny eats well-Natural Balance-Sweet Potato and Fish-Limited Ingredient Diet, is playful, LOVES his walks, and doesn't have vomiting unless I give Atopica (he's off that now).
Johnny just doesn't have a beautiful swimming pool to relax next to!  |
I was using that cream and it worked well in healing Trixie and getting her hair to grow back however the FDA has stopped the import of it so I'm concerned with whats in it. It can't be any worse then oral steroids. With that being said I have taken a step back from it. We were doing pretty good until a few days back. I can't say that if I don't have a shirt on her that she won't scratch and bite because she does, but we had her in control. I then tried to deal with the grease. She stinks in a matter of two days. She smells like a dirty door mat.
I can't explain it. the vet treated her for yeast a while back and ruled it out but I'm also wondering if we didn't give that enough time. Yeast can give all the symptoms of allergies including the grease and smell. I think I'm going to try another NEW vet and see what their take is on in. Maybe I haven't found the right one yet. Good luck Keep me in touch with what you find out. It seems we have the same thing going on with our pups. I also joined the allerdog group to get some feed back but it seems to be repetitive to what I've learned on this site. It was nice speaking to you again
Warm Regards,
