Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 hello all, i would like to ask you advice about my dogs skin problem. i like to go the natural way, the vets are not telling me much, but to keep coming back and no improvements, you know what i mean. the dog is one and a half years old, sheppard/collie mix. she has a horrible skins problem and it is getting worse. i'm trying to give her the right foods, fed her wellness most of the time, but now we went for science diet. give her little meat now with garlic, otherwise she will spit it right out. total pet nutrition, food enzymes, pet controle, anti pest herbs in dmso, msm..... spray tea tree oil on her 2-3 times per day/mixed with water, 50%-50% sort of. it started with a grazy hotspot on her throught and scratched it open,totally, and just in a day!!! went to the vet and on antibiotics...... got a bit better, but got worse after one week end started to get spots all over her body, also on her vagina and anus now. it is almost like a weed growing that fast! first she scratches on a little spot and then untill it bleeds. when it seems to heal up it starts to develop into little blisters, with pus and blood. the vet told me she had a lot of pests on her, he told me he saw under the microscope....... and got her on drugs again......... i'm getting sick writing this! anyhoo, i'm looking on the net for information and seek advice, maybe a group to discuss these things, maybe you know lists/groups/forums. ok, i'm writing a book, hope you can give me a hint or two. ps: she seems in ok spirit, loves to run in the park with me and eats ok. i wish i knew what to use on her skin to relieve the itch and mostly to get rid of the bad skin condition. give her 2 baths per week now........ thanks, rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hi Rik, Our dog had a similar incident. The vet called it elephant skin and it was disgusting. From his privates all the way to his front legs. Then it started on his mouth. After some trial and error we finally got it healed up and the hair grew back but now it's coming back around his mouth again. He will scratch it until it bleeds. You can email me off list if you want and we can go over all the things that we used on him. Thanks Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Rik, Really sorry to hear she didnt make it. I know that losing a pet can be really hard for some people (it was for me). I'm sure she has gone on to the " big dog park in the sky " .

I am a graduate of veterinarian medicine and it sounds like your dog has what is called mange. It is a parasite that the body can not get rid of with the body's immune system and is usually not treated well with medicines either. I wish the vet could of been more honest with you. Sorry again.
