Skin Problems in Dogs

[fizzifinfun]

  guys update lang.. okay na baby ko, vetnoderm reseta ng vet namin..

[gleek]

nakakalungkot, yung 2 yr old lab namin, bumabalik na naman yung Mange niya. pansin ko every summer lumalabas yung symptoms, may mga butlig na nagkakaroon ng pula. at dahil kinakamot ng lab namin, nagsusugat at nagdudugo.

we had her check by a vet, and may ininject sa kanya (i was not able to get the name of the meds) at ni resetahan sya mag anti biotic for 2 weeks. kumusta naman liver niya. 

gusto ko i try yung raw feeding kaso hindi ako marunong mamili. ano klase meat ba dapat bbilhin sa market? may specific part ba?

i also tried spraying apple cider vinegar w/water, pero every time na mag sspray ako, nag tatago yung Lab namin  .   

[pikapika2501]

one big piece of advice.
1. DRY ICE - kiskis mo lang sa may skin problem, susunugin nito at mamatay ang bad living organisms. pramise

2. its mostly fungi and related small micro-organism living on one medium. 90% of the time, namamatay sila sa BETADINE

Yan ah, best tips na yan. pag mabalbon, pwede mong gupitan then ahitan yung parte na titirahin mo ng betadine. pramise, no need vet. pramise pramise. mga vet dyan, pm nyo'ko at sasabihin ko sayong tama ako

RE: raw feeding, may ratio-ratio pa daw yung between meat, bone, & organs. May egg pa and crushed eggshells? Nakaka overwhelm den for me. Tapos dapat ata frozen for 48 hours before ibigay sa dog para mamatay yung parasites sa meat.

Instead of spraying the vinegar solution, sis, why don't you try wet wipes or cotton and punas punas mo na lang instead of spraying?

[sushisundance]

Betadine should be used diluted. Dapat daw yung 7.5% na wash ng betadine (blue bottle) pwede mo ipaligo sa dog mo before kung ano mang shampoo nya. Or pag topically applied, dapat diluted sa water like iced tea yung color. Or else, masyadong harsh sa skin ng dog yung regular na betadine pag nilagay mo ng diretso.

[gleek]

ok i'll try betadine solution. so far, tinigil ko yung pag spray ng vinegar solution. nagpapahid na lang ako ng evco sa skin, pansin ko natuyo yung mga sugat. kaso, may time kasi nagkakasugat pa din siya kasi yung younger na lab namin, kinakagat yung older lab pag naglalaro sila. ang kulit grabe. nakakaawa tuloy yung older lab namin, minsan nakikita namin may dugo na lang s skin.

Sis, I've been using vco on my dog den pero 1wk pa lang. I give my dog 1/4 teaspoon a day lang kasi scared ako if too much kasi fats pa den yun. Tapos yung parang pimples nya, pinapahiran ko ng vco. Natuyo sya after a few days pa lang and so far wala pa ulet bagong tubo. Amoy latik nga lang sya. He likes the taste naman and he licks it from his spoon. IDK if it will help sa condition ng dog mo but it's nice to hear na positive den ang experience mo sa pagpahid ng vco sa skin nya.

[gleek]

yup. hindi ko pa na try na bigyan ng vco orally, pero since ni llick din naman niya yung skin/fur niya after ko lagyan, edi parang ganun na din.  pati yung isa namin lab, nakiki dila sa skin niya, so i guess gusto ng dogs ang vco. ?

[biikq]

I have a 4 weeks old puppy, he was diagnosed of mange. But OK na siya ngayon. Can I give him fish oil? Para Hindi na mag-dry ang skin niya, takot kasi babalik mange niya.

[rastagurl11]

My pooch also have sensitive skin and he gets itchies, his vet already checked if it's fungal and/or bacterial but it tested negative. he has hot spots on some parts of his body and he would scratch like crazy. the vet recommended VCO also. I use a food grade VCO left over from my sister and god, he does love licking it, it's safe naman because it's the kind you mix with your salad.

What I do is put the e-collar when I put VCO and let him wear it for a few hours to make sure his skin absorbs it. Amoy latik nga lang, reminds me of merienda hehe.

[biikq]

I'm torn between vco and acv. Ano ba maganda gamiton and effective? Kakaawa na kasi baby ko. Bibili sana ako today.

I tried using oil pero bambi ang brand since may coconut oil kasi nalilito ako kung ano bilhin ko acv ba or vco kaya ni try ko muna bambi. Hehe. Please advise me. Thanks.

[mkuting]

Any feedback sa Papi or Lori Anti-Mange Soap? Effective ba ito and mga ilang bath bago makita result? Shih Tzu ko kasi namumula yung bandang nose, eyes and palibot ng mouth, ilalim ng ears(madalas nya kamutin) saka reddish din yung mga paws and in-between (madalas nya dilaan). Baka kasi mange na 'to, first time lang maka encounter. Baka kasi kumalat, hindi ko alam remedy.

I'm not familiar with that brand. I buy mine from SM. It's Peter Paul vco. Pero yung acv, IDK where to find it.  Why not use both?  I think your dog will benefit from acv and vco.

Sabi dito:

"Once your dog has cleared the infection, it will be very important to strengthen and support her immune system so it can defend against parasitic infections in the future. As always, I recommend a balanced, species-appropriate, fresh diet and a reduction in the number of vaccines your pet is given to help boost her immune system naturally." -

Pero if you only want to use one, I would go for vco since you're also concerned with his skin getting dry.

hi, i just chatted with my mom earlier, she told me that our dog (japanese spitz) have mange.
first time niya magkaroon nito and im a little worried, di naman siya palalabas, sa loob lang siya ng house. i think she's around 4-5 yrs old na (around 1-2 yrs old na kasi siya nung umalis ako)

how much kaya yung doramectin/ivermectin shots? and after ilang days kaya yung result?

thank you.

[gleek]

so far effective yung paglalagay namin ng vco kay Stacey, every night sya nilalagyan. hindi ko tinuloy yung acv solution kasi parang nahahapdian si Stacey pag nilalagyan.  though acv solution gamit ko pang linis ng floor para matanggal yung doggy smell..

Good to hear, sis. Pawala na yung mga sugat nya?

I think mag work den sa cleaning yung regular suka we use for cooking. Where do you get your acv? Paubos na yung sa amin pero bigay lang to so di ko alam san ako makakabili. Masarap sya sawsawan eh.  So I'm actually buying for myself, hehe.

Two months na kami sa vco. So far, wala na hotspots but it could also be because hindi na masyado mainit unlike nung summer. Plus he likes it, parang vitamins lang so I continue giving it as a treat. Ok lang naman sa vet namin.

[gleek]

^yung acv, braggs, bigay lang ng kapitbahay kaso lang ubos na.  gamit ko panglinis yung apple cider from snr, pero not really vinegar. medyo maasim din amoy but not as strong as vinegar..

yup magaling na sugat ng lab ko.. pero baka malaki din factor yung sobrang init nung summer..  we'll continue using it pa din,sa skin and as treat din.

^if dahil sa food allergy, you could try tuna (yung century tuna chunks in water lang), and potatoes. I don't really cook, pero everday nagcocook ako for my dog. Boil lang yung potato cubes (if may green yung potato wag gamitin), then add 1 can of tuna chunks. Enough for 1 day na sya. Yan yung diet na binigay ni Doc Nielsen Donato samin, makikita mo kung magclear yung rashes nya dahil nga sa food. Try sticking to it for a while, no milk, or any dairy products or treats muna. Sa dog ko kasi, nawawala yung red rashes nya pero itching parin sya until now so hinahanap pa namin yung nagiging source nun atopic dermatitis nya.

[sushisundance]

^yeah mahirap nga pag environment related. May drug na pineprescribe samin, cyclosporine. Drug sya na originally for humans na nagundergo sa organ transplant para wag ireject ng body nila. Parang hinihina nya yung immune system to stop responding. Hindi kasi fully okay yung response ng dog ko sa food elimination (although may konting progress). Ayaw lang namin dun sa drug kasi meron syang side effects (like pwede mamaga yung gums) tsaka mahina talaga immune system nito baka di lang skin issues ang maging problem in the long run.

Anyway, dun sa food. It's possible na magkaroon sya ng food intolerance kahit na sa dating kinakain nya na food. Yung ibang dogs daw kaya nagkakafood intolerance, kasi parang kulang sa rotation yung food, nagrereact yung body dun sa certain type of protein or grain. Kaya pag mag food elimination ka, usually ang binibigay tuna kasi yun yung di normally kinakain ng dog so hindi pa sya exposed dun. And avoid grains. Mas maganda na grain-free ang dog food.

Good luck! Hopefully sa food lang yan, although mahirap din magfood allergy elimination trial, pero better na yan kesa sa environment

^good to know your dog is better na nakakastress talaga lalo na pag first time pet parent, ganyan din ako nun puppy pa dog ko, may kumagat na insect sa may mouth nya, namaga eh madaling araw pa yun, dahil sa panic dinala namin agad sya sa Pendragon for emergency (from Bulacan pa kami at coding pa kaya kailangan habulin yun time) tapos pagdating namin dun humupa na yung maga nya LOL. Pero okay narin at least nacheck narin ni Dr. Mayem Yao. Nagprescribe nalang ng AH.
