| Topical remedies for a skin rash Hi, Padre seems to have a little skin rash. I think I know the problem too. We've always used Earthbath and a friend just bought him some Oatmeal shampoo that we tried a week ago..and he's been scratching ever since. He's been to the groomer since then (so he's been bathed) but his little rash seems to be bothering him. Are there any topical home remedies that can help him? Thanks for your advice! |

| no oatmeal as it dries out skin -- raw coconut oil is great for rashes as it is a natural antibacterial and antifungal - works great for hot spots too. Also you can get calendula that works great for burns and rashes -- they sell it at whole foods -- califlora |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | If he's itching from the shampoo....vinegar is a neutralizer....simply mix it with water and pour over him. You may want to have the vet take a skin scrapping to determine if it's actually mites.
