She said as long as he is acting normal and the redness doesn't get worse (i.e. it stays only on his lower belly) I can wait for my next appt. and demand they do a full work up. He is actually the more active one of my two yorkies. I may also ask to see a different Vet in the practice. I didn't particularly care for the Vet's bedside manner.
I am going to try an oatmeal bath and some Omega 3/Fish Oils this weekend and see how that goes.
I don't know how 1st time moms with kids do it. I am getting my own anxiety just with dogs. |
If he has allergies I don't advise using oatmeal shampoo, oatmeal is a grain, he could be allergic to any and all grains, is there a diff. vet you can go in and by shampoo for dog with allergies I use Hylyt, Cody has allergies, my vet told me to use only this shampoo, a member kinda informed me it can be gotten on Amazon.com. This shampoo can be used everyday if needed, Hylyt also has a conditioner. I got mine from my vet.
