Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 I'm trying to figure out a recipe for skin problems with things I have onhand. It needs to be sprayable (it's for my dog). I read stinging nettle is good for eczema so I thought maybe just making a tea and spraying on the skin might work but since then my brain has been spinning and I'm confused, LOL. Should I use a different base than water? I have glycerin, olive oil, or DMSO (the horse kind) Should I add Aloe and maybe ground ivy? Or should I make a tincture? (Arrggghhhh!) The problem is dry, itchy skin where the hair falls out from biting/scratching, leading to sores. Caused by allergies I think. Thanks for any help, Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful! According to the Vet simba has a inherited skin condition- that gets worse when he has wheat products and fleas- the saliva. His mother and her father had it.He also is nervous- the type of dog terrier,chuihuaha mix.The vet suggested a diet very similar to what Penny had used for her dogs.Raw foods though. It's been about a month and it's working okay.He smells a lot less and his hair has grown in- no red spots and lots less icthing.I am so glad -I felt so bad when he was so icthy and smelled so bad he couldn't snuggle.
