Vin is scratching

His ruddy face off! have checked ears for mites and nothing, its on the side of his nose it dries up and looks better then he scratches it through the night and its bleeding again. Have gave him piriton and used sudacreme but doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions He is fine in his self but its looking so horrid I will make a vets app f it doesn't clear   

Poor vin, how long has it been like this? x

Aww poor Vin, what about a bit of coconut oil? (rubbed on or with his food). Maybe a quick trip to the vet will help to clear it up x

Aww no poor vin have you tried anthisan cream Hun xx

No Hayley where do I get that from?   
He has had it just over a week Saz   

Chemist hun it's an antihistamine cream xx

Ok hun wil get some to try, don't want to go vets just yet as I think it maybe an allergic reaction to something, and in himself is fine xxx

Oh poor vinnie    don't mess up that handsome face!
Hope he gets better soon. X

Thanks Sue xxx

Got some cream Hayley but its a Lloyds chemist one didn't have the one you said will this be ok do you think? xx

How's he doing Inez, scratching any less?

Not so bad Lisa it was red and bleeding this morning. I think it dries and scabs and then when the scabs start to come off they are itchy and he scratches them off before they are ready xx

Poor Vin it must be driving him mad    

I think it is Lisa I have been giving him a few more treats than normal what with being xmas, he is very sensitive to foods so I have gone back to basics boring for him I know but for the best xx

Poor Vinnie it must be driving him mad x

Yeh Sue but strangely he only does it in the night He sometimes rubs his face against my leg or the carpet but not much through the day xx

There are no distractions for him at night and everything seems worse at night doesn't it?
Get him some big scratch mitts on his paws   

That be fine piglet a generic one is usually as good, is he having piriton? Xx

Poor Vinnie   

tbh I would try putting Germolene on it first, it really works like magic on sore places and has soothing properties too.

If the Germolene doesn't work its magic within a day or so, and the area is boiling up with spots and lumps, then Anthisan is the anti-histamine cream you need, if you think it looks like a histamine reaction.

Good luck Vinnie - do let us know how he gets on, poor boy   

I haven't given him piriton today as he was sick yesterday so thought it would be best not to give him any xx

How is vin now Inez?

Seems better thanks Sue its healing up now with the sudocreme. Have just bathed him in his special shampoo which I think may help.
I don't bath him too much so maybe he needed one, he had to anyway rolled in poop on our walk earlier xxx thanks again hun xx

Glad he's getting better Inez. My Vin gets terribly itchys on his leg and even changing to raw and giving antihistamines hasn't always helped - but the shampoo is good, especially in our heat.

I bet Vin loooved his bath   

Loved it not Lisa

Roxy sends him a wolf whistle and a lick on the cheek to feel better   

Aww my little vinmiester, hope it all heals quickly

Glad its healing. Yuk our old dog used to roll in that and she was white! Quite embarrassing walking back down the streets with her covered in poop!    At least he got to use his special shampoo x

Glad he's healing    Chloe ripped her dew claw (again!) and just gnawed and gnawed at it. They don't know that's it's best sometimes to leave it alone do they?!!!!!!!

No Jo they don't xxx

Glad he seems a bit better hun x

Me too Saz thanks xx
