Cortavance Spray


 Share

Recommended Posts

My vet just prescribed it for Zedley today. She seems to think I should shave the boy :o first. He is a Wire Haired Fox Terrier, and aside from it being bloody cold right now, he will look silly naked :) She has shaved off some hair on his shoulder and we are just going to treat that area for a week and see how it goes. He is also on AB's and had a steroid shot, poor boy, his whole trunk is spotty - that is what happens when you miss baths and grooming for 8 weeks 'coz Mum has one arm in a cast :cool:

I am just wondering if anyone else is using this spray and if you are shaving your dogs.

I've used it, my dog is short coated so shaving isn't really an issue. I can see how it could be an issue with long coated dogs though as you're not meant to use much of the spray and you want it to get in the right area not just stay in the coat.

With the shot your dog has had, was that a Cortisone shot 'cause I don't think you're meant to use 2 types of Cortisone products together.

Sas it was a cortisone shot and I did specifically ask (about 10 times) regarding the use of the two steriods together. My vet said that was what I had to do. I did double check as I was rather emotional having also taken a rescue in to send to the Bridge :rolleyes: .

Sparky the rubber glove sounds like a better idea than shaving the boy- he is red all over his trunk - he would be soooo cold and look very strange :thumbsup:
