Guest Anonymous Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I took all the dogs to be groomed a few weeks ago, and now Luke (bulldog) has a skin infection. He's on antibiotics and it's clearing up. I know not to bathe him unless it's really necessary. However, I do clean his wrinkles and most especially his face every day with doggie wipes. But when he does need a bath (which I will do at home from now on) what type of shampoo would be the best to try on him? I have a medicated shampoo that I used to use on Bentley (also skin issues). That is I used to use it when he still fit in the bathtub! :lol: It's an oatmeal shampoo. Would this be okay to use on Luke? Or is there something better out there? Any suggestions would be great appreciated. Thanks guys! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMaya Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 While we're talking about doggie shampoo, what would be a good shampoo to use on Pooh Bear? The skin on his butt is flaky where the hair is growing back after being shaved for his surgery. I suppose some type of moisturizing shampoo? Anyone have any good recommendations for that? At least he's not itchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavierandrea Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Believe it or not we use Mane and Tail Shampoo and Conditioner on our doggies. Asim's skin get's flaky so vet suggested that. ( It also works wonders on my hair. :wink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymunkee Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I use oatmeal shampoo on my allergy boy followed by a 10 minute soak in epsom salt. I use the oatmeal soap on all of them. The kind I have now I got from the vet but I have heard that Walmart makes a good one & it is at a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Not that I'm an expert or anything but I'd use a very mild soap, not one with so much fragrance in it. I think that would just irritate it more. I say try the oatmeal shampoo that's suppose to be really good for dry skin, so I'm thinking it would help in your case. Also I'd make sure the bath is really just barely lukewarm.

Guest Anonymous Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I just spotted this so I'm gonna reply now. K, I don't bathe him all that often. My vet said not to if it can be avoided. But sometimes he rolls around in poop and just has to be bathed. That's why I was looking for suggestions for the type of shampoo to use. One that hopefully wouldn't irritate his sensitive skin. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
