christy sloan asked:
I have a shar pei I have to keep and E- collar on him. if i don’t he will scratch his lower body raw. I know that he is miserable and have taken him to the vet on several accounts i have even switched vets in hopes that someone could give me an answer on ways to give him some relief. Everyone keeps saying Shar Peis are known to have skin problems. I know this I just want to give him some relief and help the oder his skin produces. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?!?!?!
yes everyone puts him on steroids,benedryl, oatmeal shampoo, and a powder to mix in with his food. I have also tried a few products from feed stores ant pet smart. but still no relief. Some said it may be fleas but i also have a Chihuahua and she is allergic to fleas they sleep together and she has no problems so I know thaat it is not fleas and they stay inside i would be aware if there were fleas.
I use to take him to a groomer every two weeks but it was not helping i dont want to bath him to much because i know it will dry his skin out more.
For those of you who do not know what an E-Collar is, it is a plastic cone shaped colled that keeps the animal frombeing able to reace around and chewing or licking him self. It is not harmful and doesnt shock or cause the do any pain. just makes him look a little funny

Leela08 asked:
Rescued puppy from starvation and eventually death. Was covered in fleas-finally got rid of them! But she still has patches with no hair and is constantly scrathing. Don’t want to bathe her too much for fear of making it worse. Have tried “oatmeal” shampoo made for dogs. At a loss at this point - poor little thing. She eats well(little piggy),wags her tail alot,loves to play with my other dog,overall appears to be happy and healthy, other than her skin. HELP PLEASE.

Any good ideas for skin problems in a Newfoundland?
sta asked:
Our Newf has severe dry skin. It is dry and scabby. When I brush him the brush is full of white flakes, looks a little like oatmeal. He also has hard gray bumps on his elbows. We have tried steroids (made him pee all over the house), antibiotics, antibacterial sprays, anti-itch sprays. Nothing seems to help. He does not bite at it, but licks constantly.
