dry,itchy skin this is about my poodle puppy. im so upset her skin is flakey,red and irritated.she scratches all day long and is losing her fur from scratching so much. i have looked ALL OVER THE NET for answers,ive called the breeder and spoke to the vet about it. everything they tell me hasnt worked so far. she is 16 wks old and i feed her nutro puppy she gets a half a wafer a day of nu vet and i just washed her today with perfect coat medicated coal tar shampoo and a hot oil treatment using hylyt bath oil. so far so good she hasnt scratched but it just upsets me so :( i could cry for her, she is such a good little girl i would hate for her to live so miserably. i suffer from allergies myself so i know shes uncomfortable, in fact i think im getting sympathy hives :rolleyes: any advice you guys may have im grateful for. i always say how great this site is. i wish there was something like this for poodles :( |
My Chico never really itched well maybe behind the ear here and there so I bought this shampoo that has oatmeal in it. Just like humans it's supposed to soothe the skin and help with itching. When my 2 year old daughter had the chicken pocks her Dr. recommended I bathe her in a medicated oatmeal bath and it worked so maybe if you try a dog shampoo with oatmeal in it it may help. |
If you haven't already, you should take her to the vet. There are other causes other than allergies, she's pretty young to have allergies imo. She may need to be treated for mites or something similar. Some pups don't have the immunities to fight them off, it's called demodex, I believe. |
After many trips to the vet for shots, giving him my child's benadryl, buying every expensive shampoo, I changed his food. That is what did the trick. |
