SKin Irritation

[esnaer01@yahoo.com]

Hello I am new here in this community. The reason I signed up is because I am a cockapoo owner and recently she has developed somewhat a skin irritation. It's mostly red and the part of the skin where the irritation is kind of becomes thick reddish raw skin ... I have tried everything, from changing shampoos, natural remedies and all, but nothing seems to work.

I need advise form cockapoo owners who are having similar problems, I would really appreciate it very much.

Thank you,

You can email me

hey welcome, what are you feeding her, i know you said in your other post that you have changed her food a couple of times.

most human medications are fine for dogs in small doses.

mone skin conditions are cused by a wheet intolerence, most comercal dog food have some kind of cearial in it.

has the vet done any skin scrapings to check for mange?


how long has she been scratching for, or at what age did it start?

have you changed any cleaning products in your house since she started scratching, i.e. new washing powder(your cloths or her bedding) new air fresheners, new floor cleaner?

have you changed any worming tablets?


i have known a couple of dogs with skin conditions, the changed to feeding raw meat and bones and it cleared up. when they went back on to tins and dry the scratching came back, so they changed back too raw and it has stop.
