 Congestive heart failure
Hello. I am new to this forum. I have a yorkie (who is of course my precious baby) that will be 15 in October. He has never had any health problems up until about a month ago (besides the yeast in his skin). He is on Lasix and Enalapril for is heart now after seeing a cardiologist. This has helped. The issue I have is that he use to get at least two bathes a week due to the yeast and flaking of his skin. I use Malasab shampoo which is suppose to sit on him atleast 15 min. Now I stay by the bath tub and pet him and let it stay on about 10 min to help him not get scared and help his heart rate not go up. The issue is he can't stand his face being wet or messed with so when he gets out he rubs his face until he is almost completely dry. This makes his heart race and I worry. He can't go without bathes due to the yeast which requires more bathes. I have just started using the Douxo Chlorhexidian spray on him again for between bathes and I was thinking about getting that same thing in the pads to wipe his ears. My question is this - does anyone have this same problem and is there anything else I can try? A longer lasting shampoo or should I stick with the Malasab? A better spray or something in between? All natural treats that may help the yeast in his skin? I am desperate! Thanks in advance!
