Resi Soothe & Epi Soothe 4 Dry/scabby Skin :(

[Azzachazza]

Hi all,

just wondering if these products are available in the western sydney area. The products are meant to target dry itchy skin.

Nala's skin on her back towards her tail is very dry and scabby

I have employed some of the tips from my previous post, in regards to fish oil, but i think she needs something topical too. Might head to vet and check her T4 levels...

I find Aloveen works better than Epi Soothe. It's available from most vets and at numerous online places. You can buy Aloveen Leave In Conditioner which works well as a follow up to the shampoo.

Yeah i have aloveen. Havent used it in a while though. Thought resi soothe leave in would be better by the sounds of the ingredients. But ill use aloveen if its just as good.

Poor Nala. Just noticed the scabs today. She must have been biting the area. I wonder if there are any other things that can be massaged into the skin?

There is Pyohex lotion which is similar to Resisoothe, it's basically Aloveen conditioner with added chlorhexidine. It's designed for extending the effect of Pyohex and Malaseb shampoos but you can apply it alone.

It should be a bit easier to find than the Virbac products, most vets should have it.

You can get Resi-Soothe and Epi-Soothe from the RSPCA at Yagoona. I think they keep a constant supply on hand for our Chloe

She also has very dry, scaly itchy skin - particularly just before her tail, they're both very good leave on products and help soothe the area. We use both.
