Princess has a severe flea allergie, we may not even see a flea because she is on flea killing topical, but it touches her and we see the results...hot spot red irritation constant chewing scratching...she has euined her beautiful double coat around her back legs.
Princess is our miniature schnauzer.
We've has great sucess using Apple Cider Vinegar (with mothers) as a topical treatment.
Rubbing it on her to repel fleas etc before we go places-otherwise she's a prisoner in our flea free zone of hone & yard (we treat yard with ORGANIC DE) I mean we rub it on legs under belly back through fur to skin...
We also use ACV as a skin treatment-which it serves a variety of skin issues and has antibiotic properties. We wash her down with warm water sometimes shampoo her then when wet we coat her with ACV thoroughly really working it onto skin we leave it on at least 30 minutes if not overnight.
She then is just rinsed off...not the best smell but the results are better than ANY of the other treatments we have used.
We do ACV treatments everyother day alternating with raw cold pressed coconut oil, for 7 days-she is always clearing by day 7.
It stinks but it works.
While you may not have a flea allergie issue try this-it works for so much!
Princess was and untreated is so bad the vet cautioned if not under control this issue affects her quality of life due to severity...we all know what that means.
Thankfully this works. |
