The vet did say she has yeast and bacteria infections. Her face is sooooo stinky that you can smell it when she is next to you on the furniture! About a year ago, all our dogs caught a respiratory infection from another dog and were all coughing. The vet prescribed Baytril for that, and we discovered Lola's face was completely stink-free while taking it. So we went to the vet with this discovery, and she said Lola could take 1 pill a day for a week every 6 weeks or so. She has been stink-free ever since! Now if I could just find a solution for her itches.
I thought maybe it was the grain in her food, so I switched to a grain-free food. It made no difference at all. I haven't tried giving her yogurt. Will that help with the yeast infection and her itchy face? What else will help with her itchy face? I can't really use medicated shampoo on her face because it's not tear-free.
Any help for my itchy girl would be greatly appreciated!
Good luck with your itchy girl, Hilde! Hope she gets better soon! |
I use Chamomile tea rinse as it's ok to get in eyes & mouth. Others have said Chamomile is toxic to pets, however it is only the plant that can be toxic but the flower is not toxic to pets and the tea is made from the flower not the plant. I have been using this for many years & have had no adverse reactions from it . Also ladyjane said you can use vinegar but I'm not sure if she meant White or Apple cider and I don't know if it's safe to get in the eyes or not so maybe you could PM her & ask. I hope this helps
