In the meantime, do you also wipe him down daily with wipes? Also, are you sure you're not allergic to any of the products you use on Gael? (I remember an episode from brady bunch where one kid suddenly started having allergic reaction to their dog. Turns out she was allergic to the new shampoo they switched for the dog)
Good luck! |
I'm using the (coat handler) shampoo and conditioner the show breeder uses and I use sensitive wipes to clean him after he goes potty. When I had met Gael's fur family (twice before bringing him home) I did not have any negative reaction. His mom kept licking me all over my face and I was fine.
Gaël is having many potty accidents. Perhaps I'm coming into contact with his urine during cleanup and even washing hands afterwards is too late? I knew about the secretion in skin and saliva but I hadn't considered his urine!
Perhaps the answer is I need to be firmer on crate training and use gloves for cleanups. *fingers crossed*
