Alison Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Does anyone know if Bromine can cause skin irritations in dogs? I have been taking my pup swimming and they use the Bromine in the water, he has had a reaction to something and I am trying to eliminate possible causes.

haven Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Can't tell you about the Bromine specifically, but I know my GSD never had any skin issues until I took him swimming in a pulic pool and since then it's been chronic Could be coincidence, I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucknow Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Simply put anything you pick is capable of causing allergic symptoms, just depends on the animal. Pool cleansers are notorious, I would think the Bromine is high on the list of suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Are you anywhere near the beach? Salt water is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yes Puggy Puggy I live right on the beach so I will be taking him there now instead of the pool. He was going to the beach as well, but now it will just be the beach. I have taken him to the vet and it was the Bromine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haven Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 What did the Vet suggest as treatment Alison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I am adding extra omega oil to his diet to help with his now dry coat and skin. He is on antibiotics to help with the infection and I am bathing him every second day with Evening Primrose Oil Shampoo, if the Shampoo doesn't take away the redness, we will give him an some anti inflams Haven. He has lost alot of his coat the poor bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
