Dry itchy skin Hello, I have a 2 and a half year old Yorkie and he recently has become really itchy on his upper hips right above his tail. Initially I thought it was fleas because I saw one and put a new flea medicine I had not used before which I think caused further irritation. Today I noticed a rash on his front sholder (2 days after putting the flea medicine on him) I washed him today and the rash has gotten better but he is even more itchy on his back hips. There are so many products out there. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or products that help with dry skin irritation. Thanks so much Mel :) |
Is it red or splotchy...if so, it may have progressed to a bacterial infection called pyoderma (staph intermedius)...this can only be treated w/ antibiotics from a vet. Maybe attach a good picture if you can? Otherwise, a trip to the vet may be in order. Is he chewing or licking his paws also, btw? |
After washing him the rash on his front sholders has gone away but he is still chewing on his hind quarters a lot. No particular rash there he just will not leave it alone. And if he chews too much it will get raw and red. I was reading about oat meal shampoos and that they help with dry skin. Any idea of a best product? |
