When he gets baths, he does get an e-collar on until he's dried, or else he goes right to his hot spot. |
Is the derm suggesting special shampoos for him? I have had a couple of allergic pups who, in addition to meds, needed baths 2-3 times/week with special shampoos.
My George responded well to Zymox shampoo and conditioner and one of my recent fosters who was not on meds, but did have itchy skin responded well to Synergy Lab Antiseptic & Antifungal medicated shampoo and Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Conditioner. I purchased the last two on Amazon.
