sore patches

I have posted about this before a while ago. sky has very sore patches under her armpits i assume from walking. i dont even walk her excessivly just a daily stroll. I used to think ir was her harness but this harness doesnt go under her arms. Is there any creams we could use to ease the soreness?

It has just come over the past few days.

Apple cider vinegar is excellent for their skin, just add a drop to her food. I was recommended it on here a while back and it's great.

Logan is having a bit of bother with dry skin at the moment because of the weather and I was recommended earlier to try coconut oil, which I'm going to do tomorrow. It can be added to their food or used topically on the skin. That might help too

Thanks for your reply. i think we will try that long term. any ideas for now? i was thinking something similat to e45? or vaseline?just to take the edge off and help it heal. Im not sure whats best for dogs :/

Vaseline may be worth trying just to calm the area now.

Does she scratch or lick at the area?

no.it doesnt seem to.bother her really but i dont know if its because she can not get to it as easy as if it was her paws. just put in some vaseline to see if that helps! Its just like chafing

in the short term anything thats good for babies is usually okay and make sure its not perfumed. you could also try a zinc suppliment for a while and see if that helps as she may need more than most compleate foods contain (which isnt alot). I have to suppliment both mine as they are prone to zinc responsive dermatisis and use Vetzyme B plus E with zinc and selenium

Hopefully it helps out. I'd def try the Apple Cider Vinegar and by the sounds of it Coconut Oil will be very good too

Vaseline I would defiantly say no too, sudacrem is a good one to try Xx

Sudocrem is great always works on darcy.

Yeah Sudocrem is great

Ok, So the vaseline didnt help and maybe made it a bit worse. We went to pets at home and got some cream called exmarid ointment. Im hoping it helps as were not walking at the moment which i dont like. I like her out and about and she has a beach trip saturday! I will try post a picture...

Hope it helps Let us know how it goes

It's maybe worth going to the vets and seeing if they'll do a skin scrape to test the area.

Steff had similar to that... We got Malaseb shampoo to wash the area and then Ilium cream worked very well.. Dont know if you have these over there though..

ouch that looks sore, poor doggy

I normally use Coconut oil, Apple Cider Vinegar or Sudocrem for sores, but I had the same problem with Zeus last year.

His old harness chafed on his armpits pretty bad, by the time we realised, it got to a pretty bad point and looked very painful.

The only cream that sorted it out (and pretty quickly) was Fuciderm which we picked up from the vets. It's a pretty strong steroid cream so I only use it as a last resort and if its most necessary.
