Jolie needs your help. Ok so last friday I lost Bella. Wensday Jolie got sick. I took her to MSU emergence Vet. She has a gastro infection. They released her with some instrutions. Bland diet all of that will have diarreha for a few days till this passes. What do I do for the poor baby's bottom which is raw. I wasn't sure wither to post this here or in sickness buy here I thought more would see and be able to help. I am tring to do everthing i can for her. I hate that she is in pain back there. So please help. |
oh my.......I think it would depend on how raw...is it like bleeding raw?? Could you check with your vet and see maybe putting organic coconut oil on it may help. Not sure what might help but that came to mind. Hope others chime in with better advice. Sending many prayers for Jolie. :( |
I'm surprised they didn't give you any ointment. I recently bought something called "Vetericyn". There are two types but I heard the "HydroGel" works better. I used this on Zoey for her scorched injury on her back. From my own experience, I can say it works GREAT! You might be able to find this at a local pet store. If not, you can get it online. I hope Jolie gets better soon. Good luck! |
Cortisone cream is what I was told by a vet for irritation |
first off if you use anything on that area you should use a cone on the dog's head because more than likely the dog will lick it off. I guess a onsie could work as well Lola had a very bad problem when she was about 6 months old and would scream in terror when she had to go which was often because she had gotten so raw down there. My friend had just had surgery herself down there and she gave me a tube of Calmoseptine ointment which I believe she got at the drug store, it worked in just one application. This is a human medicine so I am not sure if a vet would recommend it, but it was like a miracle. But once again I really think it is important to make sure you prevent the dog from licking or ingesting any type of ointment you use. |

Calmoseptine ointment is wonderful - I even used a tiny tad on Tibbe when he was raw after having a bout of diarrhea. You could use an e-collar or other anti-lick/scratch collar just prevent her from licking. Tibbe never even tried to lick it as it smelled like medicine and he didn't like the smell. |
Thank you. I hate seeing her in pain. Would rather her wear a cone than be raw. |
The rawness looks so painful you know it hurts them. But that Calmoseptine fixed Tibbe right up and he settled down to sleep immediately after I applied it. He needed only two or three applications and he was no longer raw. |
For my two legged patients at the hospital I recommend one of several things, Boudreaux butt paste, calmoseptine or balmex. And yes I would also say keep her from licking the are since the main ingredient of these products is usually zinc oxide. |
I second the vetricyn! It is amazing stuff. It is non toxic and they can lick it, it can be sprayed in the eyes, etc. I have used it on our pitbull that got in a fight it healed puncture wounds and gashes. It can be expensive but it is so worth it. |
In the hospital we use calmoseptine on raw, angry baby bottoms. It works wonders but it is toxic if ingested. Another trick we use on really bad bottoms is to take oxygen tubing and connect it to the compressed air from the wall and aim it at the raw areas for 15 minutes several times a day. The increased airflow helps the area heal. You can get a similar effect by using a hair dryer on the cold setting. |
