blacklabrador Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Depends what is causing the itching. If it's a fungal infection coal tar won't cure it. It is soothing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 get a good vet check. If the skins itchy then washing it can cause it to swell and crack letting in bacteria etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Coal tar is for itchy scalps/ dermatitis. I had some for humans. Malaseb is antifungal/ antibacterial- can be harsh if used regularly over a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
