Louie was on a three week regime of steroids for his itchy skin, he had developed hot spots and his belly looked like he had the measels.
Now that is over and his back is a mess. Big crusty chunks of scaly skin (sorry for being so graphic) I am a nurse, and I have seen this on skin of the elderly in their scalp, and I too have gotten it in a much lesser form.
I use nuetrogena's coal tar shampoo, with great relief from excess oils and itchiness.
Do you think Louie would fare the same? I am looking at Pine tar soap that is for pets dermatitis, and I am thinking this will give him some relief as well.
Every time we go to the vets, which has been not so often this year, thank God (last two years it was monthly)...we walk out of there broke. Last visit for antibiotics and diagnosis (I had the steroids already) was $168!
Anyone else have this problem with super oily coat and itching and scaling??
