Kajtek Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My girl just cannot shake irritation under her chin. It's not raw, just irritated. She took 2 long courses of antibugs. I wash her chin in Malasep about 2 x week (helps for a while). We've looked at her diet, etc, etc. We are still almost at square 1 with the treatment. Is Calamine Lotion ok for dogs? Has anyone used it? Was it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I would be using Calendula Tea instead of calamine lotion. (Where are you Erny :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the Calendula Tea treatment failed. It was the first thing I tried and followed Erny's advice. Maybe I need to try that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lavendergirl Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) You could try Curash baby cream/powder or paw paw ointment. Edited to add that Malaseb is very drying also. Edited July 19, 2012 by lavendergirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to try that again I would give it another go, I became converted last year when I saw first hand how good it was on a pug who was in a terrible state, she also had a secondary skin infection - the relief on her face said it all to me. I sponge bathed her several times a day - 3 weeks later she was looking fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Calamine lotion is fine to try if you want to give it a go. I would also look at the thread on here about the lip fold problem being related to diet and try Traditional Chinese Medicine to sort her out.

Kajtek Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Thank you so much for your help. I am willing to explore all options rather than put her through yet another course of antibiotics. Thanks Andisa Curash - that's a thought. Thank you lavendergirl Chinese Medicine....haven't thought of that for her even though my boy is on Chinese herbs. I'll do the search on DOL too. Thank you dancinbcs.
