What Can I Give My Lab For Dry Itchy Skin; She Is Also In Heat?

Answer Question

    I don't want to recommend any thing or suggest any thing.

    All I can say is that when my sister's dog and other friend's dogs were itchy, dry and basically eating away their fur they gave them benadryl. It worked.

    When that was tried for a while and it didn't work my aunt gave her dog aspirin.

    I haven't had any one do both at the same time. I wouldn't do it myself.

    I've even had friend's that bathed their dogs in oatmeal and it helped.

    Then another tried this weird solution from online (I don't remember exactly what it was but I think it was one or two chemicals and one other ingredient)

    Now, PLEASE ask a vet about this. You could probably call one and get an answer for free.
    Or better yet take your dog in to see a vet because they will be able to tell you what's really the cause and knowing that they will be able to give you the most effective treatment option.

    Oooh! One more thing! My friends didn't give their dogs more than half the Benedryl at a time at first to see how the dog would react.

    And the Aspirin was probably low dose like 81mg or less than 250mg.

    Remember, these are meds for humans and unless your vet OK's it you'd probably want to be very cautious about what you give your beloved friend.

      Bath your dog in oatmeal shampoo.
      Is bendryl is good, don't do the aspirin thing it's not really good for their system. Also there are somethings you can get in the pet store, let them know and they might be able to help you. Then call your vet, your dog could be allergic to something.



      Good luck

        I would give her a vinegar water bath it is soothing to the skin.
