Topic Dog Boards / Health / Dry scaley skin
- By akh0706 [gb] Date 28.07.12 18:17 UTC
Hi
Molly my EBT has very dry flaky scabby skin at the base of her spine & top of her tail.

When we had the very wet weather she was bitten quite a bit inside her thighs & a very bad bite under the base of her tail, the Vet suggested Sudocrem which worked very well.(I just popped in, I didn't take her)

I have used Frontline on Molly & used flea carpet powder too.

But now she has been left with this flakey skin, the skin does look pretty pink too.

I will take Mollyto the Vet, but I thought I'd try here first as she is very nervous at the Vets!

Thanks

this is a brilliant medicated shampoo can be purchased from vet but cheaper to buy on line without a prescription. (although I would ask vet advice before use.)http://www.vetuk.co.uk/dog-shampoos-veterinary-shampoos-c-1124_637_889/sebomilddog-cat-shampoo-200ml-bottle-p-171
Worked for one of my beardies after just a couple of shampoos.

Molly went to the Vet yesterday....the scaley skin may be due to parasites :( She was given a steroid injection & had good examination. It should clear up in a week or so.

that happened to a friends dog .. turned out she was allergic to fleas and needed to be on a treatment each month.Glad you have it sorted.

By yesterday all the scabs had gone, just leaving dandruff. I sponged Molly down with warm water & shampooed her & now dandruff free :-) Just have to keep a eye out in future.
Thanks for all your posts
