Maltese bathQ: I have a new 4 month old maltese and he has some matts that everytime i try to brush he acts like it hurts him so i stop. i don't want them getting out of control so what should i do? i am also curious how often i can give him a bath w/o irritating his skin, but keep a white dog relatively clean. one last question would be what is better between a powder ear cleaner and liquid. what is a good recommendation as far as an ear cleaner goes? thank you so much A: I like epiotic liquid ear cleaner from 1800petmeds as general good ear cleaner. also you can bathe as often as needed. some dogs need 1 or 2 baths a week while others much less frequent. i like oatmeal shampoos like episoothe oatmeal shampoo. for mat control you will have to see groomer in such a breed for best long term control

Ongoing skin irritationQ: My adopted bos terrier (approx. 6yrs & n.male) moe - battles an ongoing skin irritation - blisters that i never see, pop and leave bald spots - near the hind quarter - the vet continues giving moe benadryl and suspects an allergy - the spots don't seem to itch moe - but they look really awful and mangy. they range from 1/2" to 1" in diameter. we periodically do an antibiotics and i bath moe often with an allergy shampoo - any suggestions? - also lately has had 2 brief episodes of diarehhea and i'm afraid it's due to the benadryl - thanks for your help! moe's mom - sharon A: Sounds like underyling allergy. |ifyou really want to get to bottom you could consider low allergy diet to see if food related or blood allergy testing to find out what allergic to so can develop allergy vaccine. otherwise left with symptomatic care like you are doing
Severe itching, constant scratching, increased intake of waterQ: My dog is a 10 yr old beagle/corgie mix. for the past week she has been scratching, rubbing & licking herself so much that patches of hair are missing. she works so hard at scratching that she pants - endlessly & drinks tons of water but really does not seem to have increased urine output. in addition, she is refusing to eat her food except if handfed. i am certain this needs futher workup but what can i do to relieve her apparent misery? A: Try corticare shampoo from 1800petmeds every few days from 1800petmeds as well as antihistamine like chlorphenirmine at dose of 4 mg twice daily but should take to vet for complete workupa t this age
