Solve Your Pet's Mystery Itch

Scratch it for thin or her

Just scratch it don't be lazy be attentive

To help relieve pet allergy itching and to help with healing of pustule's which may form as result of allergies both thru food, and airborne pollen, try using REDMOND CLAY.
This product may be found at a local health food store. It comes in powder form, and mixed with small amounts of water will form a clay like substance.
FIRST and of primary importance will be to clean the affected area well, then apply the clay mixture in light layered coatings, allowing the clay to dry, and then reapply in layers to cover the affect area. This will help by keeping the area dry, and reducing the itching which causes the pet to scratch and contaminate the irritated area further.
Most of all, the product is all natural, no chemicals, and not harmful in any way to your pet, this should the animal lick the affected area containing the REDMOND CLAY product. Hopefully, this info. will be helpful in addressing the same allergy issues our pets have experienced throughout the year in various parts of the country without the use of steroids, and such chemical topical's which may further endanger your pet by the ingestion of same.

We have a 4 yr old minature Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He weighs approximately 45 #s, and we've tried everything and my son doesn't want to take him to the vet because of the chance they might want to put him on steroids and he doesn't want this. So we bath the bald spots and keep a tee on him and it seems to be getting better. On a nice sunny day he loves to lie in the sun on his sleeping bag in the driveway. He seems to be getting better and stops itching in the area that he has no hair. But he heals very quickly and yes some of area's dry out , and when the new hair starts coming in it I believe it itches as well! We are trying real hard and have him on Wellness Core no grain food, seems to be o.k. and keep his ears cleaned every week and a long haul but worth every bit!

when my dog came up with a balding pink patch on his back, I took him to the Vet and he was diagnosed with Demodex Mange. The Vet treated my dog with steroids. This did not help his condition and as I found out later, NEVER allow you pets Veterinarian to treat your for this condition with Steroids, as it could only worthen with Steroids and cause pancreatic damage. Since my dog didn't respond to the treatment, I took him back to the Vet and he was diagnosed to suffer from seasonal allergies. The treatment prescribed, Benadril.
Benadril didn't take care of his symptoms either. We changed the Veterinarian, because by now his condition has gotten much worse. The skin in His face started to get blistery and bumpy, then burst open and bleeding quiet heavily. This Vet still concluded my dog had bad seasonal allergies, and I was given stronger Meds to treat him for his allergies.
Needless to say, it didn't help. He looked so pitiful and I felt so helpless. To make him feel better I thought, maybe I just cook him some dog food, instead of feeding him his usual kibbles. Big Surprise here! It didn't take long and all his "SKIN PROBLEMS" disappeared. Although I gave him only premium food without any byproducts, he could not tolerate his diet. He had a severe Food allergy. Unfortunately the Vet could not diagnose this, but thanks to his 'mom' she figured out it might have been something much closer to home.

Your dog could have a ear infection . My lab has those often. Vet gives him otomax ear drops .

Hi Teresa, It is ear mites. You can buy treatment at pet shop, get ear cleanse, put in ear and put cotton ball in immediately. This will stop any dirt when they shake their head. Then I always carefully use a Qtip dipped in Alcohol and get the dirt out. Then put ear mite drops in follow the directions. Clean everyday and this should clear up. I have had many dachsunds and now have a shiht zu and I do take her to be groomed, and they use a powder that you put in her ears, then use tweezers made for this to pull the hair out and they can be cleaned easier. Hope this will help.

An abandoned dog decided she belonged to me. She had a rash and awful itchy skin. A stranger said it looked like an allergy and suggested benadryl. I used over-the-counter dye free generic benadryl liquid for children. It worked like a charm! I sure wish I'd known this simple thing to try when I had a silky terrier with an allergy. One flea and he would scratch until he was bald everywhere he could reach. Many fancy vet baths, meds, etc - nothing really helped. Just Benadryl for kids. Who knew.
