YT 3000 Club Member | Chester has very sensitive skin, he looked just like that 2 days ago when they used tearless shampoo at pet smart and they had changed to a different brand. I rinsed him off well and used benadryl and they re shampooed him with my puppy tearless shampoo from bio groom, you are not using human shampoo are you is it a different ph, so it is not good, they do have sensitive skin dont they, poor babies. |

| Is there a way that Gavin could've come in contact with ice melter and laid on it or ate it?? Maybe it was on someone's shoes when they were outside and they brought it in the house and put it in the trash?? When I worked for the Vet this happened alot this time of year!! Try giving him chicken Baby Food, some rice or even Plain or Vanilla Yogurt to settle his stomach... I hope he feels better soon... Hugs to you all...

| Gavin Just an update, Gavin is feeling much better. He's had only chicken and rice and has not vomited or had diarrhea. I gave him a warm bath yestereday just to rinse off anything that might have come in contact with his skin. I have not heard from the vet about the blood results. I did call yesterday but they were not back yet. His underbelly is still bright red. Around the top of his head near his ears, eyebrows are red too. He's not itchy. I'm going to wait to see the blood results and if they show nothing, then I will take him back and see what else they have to say. We do use ice melter on our front walk, I doubt he would have ingested any and he has no access to the front walk as he only goes out to his pen for his bathroom needs.

| Glad to hear that he is feeling better. But the redness to his skin is not normal - I'm glad it doesn't seem to be itching him. But something is not right - I would definitely have it checked by the vet this week

| I am glad Gavin is feeling better, however the bright red on his skin is what is the concern. I would have guessed it was some type of allergic reaction too. I have a young Yorkie who gets into everything all the time too, and it is nearly impossible to keep things from dropping on the floor in a busy household. things happen accidently . I would keep communicating with your vet and bring Gavin in again . Something is causing the redness that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Best wishes to you and Gavin.

| gavin Gavin is not doing that well. He wouldn't eat for me this morning (chicken and rice) He's not drinking much. I have been giving him bits by syringe. He's shaky and lethargic. His tummy is still bright red, up around his neck and top of his head. I am going to take him in to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. You would think if he had an allergic reaction to something, he would be getting better by now. He had no fever so it can't be infection. It's so strange!

| Poor baby! I hope he'll do better soon. I know in humans, ingested allergic reactions can take up to 10 days to show up and last for awhile. I know I broke out in severe hives for a week after ingesting medicine I was allergic to. It's probably the same thing for dogs.

Does he happen to have fleas? Fleas over a long time can cause severe problems I've been looking online for you - here are somethings I've found: This might not be anything close, but her suggestion to ease any discomfort from the redness & bumps sound like good holistic treatment until you can get to the vet -- the Aloe Juice might even be good to let him drink a bit Dogs: Red Stomach on My Dog, calendula cream, stabilized oxygen (Q: Is it safe to give Aloe Gold, Aloe juice to dogs? I saw the Aloe Vera Plant listed under poisonous plants on an animal web site? Yes, it is 100% safe to give to pets. Just start with 1 oz. and increase giving it in increments throughout the day. If diarrhea cut back. Dogs need about 1 oz. per 10 lbs of body weight to increase immune function. What is pretty ridiculous is dogs would never just start eating away on a whole Aloe Vera plant because it is toooo bitter. A little goes a long way. The plant is NOT toxic so they do not know what they are talking about as is the case when people are warned against Aloe Vera.) This is also a good list of skin conditions - see the chart at the bottom of the page -- although you still need to see a vet - as we have no idea what he is dealing with All about skin related problems & diseases in dogs, including natural treatments - Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - Skin Problems are common in dogs, find more information in our Pet Condition Guide at PetCareRx Causes of Fluid-filled Bumps on the Skin of Dogs NZYMES.COM Articles: Dog Skin and Hair Problems - Dog Shedding - Dog Hair Loss
