| Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs LOTS of benefits-mostly when you rub it on their skin ( I actually only do it on feet and legs personally) it prevents parasites as the acidity repels them (do this after a bath only) furthermore, having a small amount (based on your dog's weight) I used 1/2 teaspoon in 2 cups water for my Yorkies (I use flavored water) it creates PH balance most dogs don't have which can counteract acid reflux-vomiting of bile-glassiness (can you tell I have a Miniature Schnauzer) I used apple cider vinegar in conjunction with a raised feeder and a water bottle when two of my dogs had reflux and vomiting issues-we no longer have the issues period-no prescriptions, no surgery-just basic changes! Apple cider vinegar also works wonders for people I noted to a lady in another forum on it I had been prescribed several antacids-they are a band-aid I started a regiment of apple cider vinegar (mothers) and no longer even take over the counter antacids (antacids only cause your body to create more acid its a bad cycle an actual acid makes the body adjust and stop producing so much balancing you and curing for the most part). I've also heard that apple cider vinegar in a "rub" for dogs is good for basic skin irritation-careful with open wounds or a really bad rash, I use it carefully with triple antibiotic Neosporin ointment-I'd be hesitant as it might burn and hurt them so be careful of this-it may work but still so does isotropic alcohol. A little in ears (and dried properly) also works for parasites and for cleaning purposes. Last edited by concretegurl; 12-18-2010 at 04:17 PM. Reason: clarification spelling |

| okay guys..so i was looking at snickers belly today..and noticed that he has a rash on his tummy! it looks like an allergic reaction to something.and then i looked at his butt..and noticed, a ittle at the top of his anus..he rubbed his butt on the carpet so hard that he developed a burn on his butt!! could it be that he had a reaction to the shaver the groomer used???? anyone else had this problem??? she used hypoallergenic shampoo on him.i did some googling on line and some ppls dogs get irritated by the groomers shavers. |

Mine like to itch their behinds after a shave too, especially if I get a little too close with the trimmer.

Above is for rash on tummy-if he's rubbing his bottom so hard he's hurting his bottom-go the vet something is really irritating him-who knows parasite, bacteria, fungus, just didn't like anal glands being clean-they weren't cleaned properly and became actually blocked...anybody's guess vet's job to diagnose-at least you'll find out and if it's "nothing" I'd do the above on the bottom too (hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin-some vets don't do cultures for rash and then leave you with it'll be fine in a couple days-ugh). | |

| Something a little less harsh to try would be oatmeal shampoo... it works great for irritated skin and also provides much soothing..... you can also buy an oatmeal spray.

| That stinks, not necessarily a bad groomer-it seems to actually be ind of common apparently-actually that's scary! Glad to her he's doing better and it has scabbed over might want to still put Neosporin on the scab and make sure if it breaks it has an antibiotic on it to prevent a secondary infection...let us know everything is okay in a couple days... |
