[QUOTE="Star*, post: 68886, member: 4964"] The man I work for has a Labrador about 3-5 years old. He was having problems with her scaly skin, itching, biting fur and he took her to the groomer and had her SHAVED!!! It has been wonderful for her. I was shocked. His reasoning was the hair collects dirt, causes irritation, falls out EVERYWHERE and this is a solution that helps with little to NO hair (LABS notorious shedders) My other thought goes to the fact that my Bulldog, while almost albino uses vet approved sunscreen on his nose..every day AND he has airborne allergies. We give him OTC people Benadryl (the real stuff) 2 tablets 2x a day. It has helped a lot with the itching and digging and biting. I also bathe him once a week in a shampoo from dermatologist vet here...that is like a miracle for a day. Bathe the dog and rinse WELL WELL WELL....then mix the shampoo and pour on (I use a scrub brush to really get down to the skin and he loves it) leave on, then rinse extra well. The day of his bath? He doesn't itch at all. I think (no joke) that mine goes out and lays in the dirt to 'help itch' himself as the sand is coarse, and when he's done that dirt is still on his fur and in his skin and it makes like coming back from the beach with sand in your shorts (Know the feeling?) I'd itch too. Also researching EFA oils and homeopathic ideas. Mine gets so raw he bleeds. It makes me sad because he is georgeous. And he doesn't put up with difficult child crap one iota. The original tough love! My pitbull will put up with more from difficult child, my American Bull? No Bull period with difficult child. Gotta love a wiser than me animal. Keep us posted on little Miss Itchy. [/QUOTE]
