Do belly bands cause yeast infections??? A friend told me that her vet told her never to use belly bands because they cause yeast infections. I use them frequently and never had a problem. Has anyone ever had a problem with yeast infections from belly bands? |
I would be glad to know this also....We use belly bands daily...I take them to the potty pads every couple hours or so....Also, I use diaper wipes to clean their business... So far, we have had no problems...And the vet knows what I am doing and he had no problems with it???? Joyce |

My tigeree is a huge user of the BB and he does not have it . . .he just went to the vet a couple of weeks ago and came out with a clean bill of health :) He has been a user since he was about 5 months old and he is over 2 years old now :) |

My boys wear them all day (off at night) and they have never had a problem. I do use the Poise Pads which are super absorbent, though. |

I get them at Wal-Mart. The size I get has 72 in a package and it is something like $11 to $13. Not too bad. Just kind of embarrassing buying them, Hee Hee. "Sure they are for your dog, LOL" I am thinking about making some waterproof belly bands with removable washable pads. That would save the trips to the store. |

We have been using BB's on Biscuit for over a year and have had no problems....he doesn't often wet them though. Does anyone know if a yeast infection in a male dog is easy to spot? |

Belly Bands don't cause yeast infections - it is the prolonged moisture that can allow what is a present normal amount of yeast to progress to unchecked overgrowth, hence, infection. |
