BrunoBella Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 My dogs have had contact allergy for three to four weeks, very severe at first and then slowly clearing up. I took both dogs swimming in the ocean, rinsed them with fresh water and the next morning the remaining spots and bellas red eyes had disappeared. Anyone had anything similar? Is salt water a cure or did it just clear up on the same day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haven Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Could be more than coincidence, sea/salt water certainly has it's uses and sea mineral salts is one of the best topical creams I've used for healing wounds quickly. One of my younger sisters suffered terribly with eczema for years, which only ever cleared up after a summer at the beach in the water every day.

poodlemum Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Salt water is an old wives's cure for skin conditions - it really does work. I used to have a GSP with very sensitive skin & used to take him for a swim in the ocean - worked like magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBella Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Fantastic news I hoped it wasn't a coincidence. My two will swim summer and winter so I'll take them down once a week and we won't need to worry about rashes and steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
