Skin remedies?

My chihuahua has ichy skin. The vet gave her a shot today. Is their anything I could use to make her skin not feel irritated. I hate knowing that she is itchy and her skin burns.
Skin remedies?
probably food allergies which is the biggest problem that causes skin problems in dogs. Get it off food with corn in it. give a bath in an oatmeal bath to help with the itching
Skin remedies?
Bathe her in special anti-itch shampoo, they're easy to find in PetsMart.





Edit:


How long has it been going on? If it's just been recent, it could be an allergic reaction.
Reply:1. Change her food. I like the ones at http://www.frrco.com/121668 because they are non-allergic and good for skin and coat.





2. Get a shampoo to help with skin. I recommend this: http://www.libertydogtraining.com/produc...


The Dermapet Shampoo. If you can't click the banner above it to order, go to the "Related Links" and then "J-B Pet Supplies" to order.





Good luck!

Reply:check with your vet and get an oatmeal based shampoo, this works great. the other thing there is a spray you can use also from the vet's that will help to eleviate the itching too. have you had her tested for allergies? food, fleas etc. how old is she? good luck
Reply:Ask your vet to recommend something.
Reply:What kind of injection did the veterinarian give her? Maybe you should asked to be refered to an animal dermatologist. They can test for different allergies. This has been very helpful to a lot of people. Ask your vet about different allergies your pet might have.
Reply:it's this stuff called blue coat.....it's really messy but it works.....





please know that it's really really messy and whatever it gets on besides the dog...it will be a permanent stain....use gloves and do it outside......





Good luck I hate to hear that about your dog......Good luck
Reply:shampoos are misleading they only dry the skin the best thing is to give him an oderless garlic tablet everyday also try ecinacea take a teaspoon of it and boil it in a cup of water feed her a dropper ful in the morning and a dropper ful at night along with 200 miligrams of vitimin C this will boost her immune system enabling her to fight the skin problem you can get that stuff at natural food stores
Reply:mineral oil and egg in her food once or twice a week. stop with the shampoo's ,it will only irritate the skin, and dry it out. was the shot for allergies or what?


does she constantly chew at herself? if so find a doggie typr sweater with a sheep skin lining. this wat even if she rolls to itch at least she cant scratch and chew.
Reply:And do you also do annual vaccinations? Read the Wisconsin University weblink

Vaccinations can be the cause of skin problems.
