Thread: Itchy and Scratchy Show

I have always treated Denali's hot spots as they've come - normally she gets one hot spot (which I treat) and I start adding oils to her food and it's fixed. This time nothing seems to be helping. I would love more recommendations on what products I could try.

Have you tried washing her with Neem?

What is a savings account? My first Beagle had to be on Cephalexin every year for skin allergies. Benadryl did help in between really bad flare ups.

I'm chasing allergies with Kellie too I feel your pain. She has a sore on each leg now from chewing them The only thing I've figured out is chicken. It's not the only thing though as I've discovered. I use a spray lotion for hot spots, skin sores & rashes called Septiderm-V Skin Care Lotion by Green Tree. When it's on, it's good but she even tried to clean it off. I've chased Phoebe with hot spots all...

Our oldest GSD (going on ten years) has allergies like crazy! So, making sure his diet complies with his allergies and giving benadryl at times makes all the difference. He is also on Animax for his ears. Keeping the house clean with regular vacuuming has helped......
