I am not sure I would use very harsh products on this dog's skin, have you looked into Quistel?

[.dodger.]

No have no idea what Quistel is but will have a look at it.

tbh claire i don't think it is to do with the food. All of the other dogs are/were doing really really well on it and Tila's skin has been like this before i took her in. Granted it was only around her back legs and private parts but the condition has been there.
thanks for all the advise everyone

The lotion is really superb for hot spots, skin eruptions etc.

Hi,

Quistel is some kind of shampoo stuff - Val reccommends it so I would ask her where to get it from.

Have you thought about getting a skin scrape done ?  would anyone else advise this ?

thanks it looks good - will have a search around for the cheapest.

[rooooooooby]

just a thought Laura ...

Emma may be able to get it from one of her suppliers at a discount for you or near Emma is a lady with a dog called Ava and another younger dog a border collie who is a groomer up there too she might be able to get it at a discount.  I am sure she is or was on RD and hope that is enough info to trace her !  I am hoping they are near(ish) to you aswell.

just a thought ?

I will warn you it smells like something died in the pot Laura

It's good but it's not cheap Benzl Benzoate is cheaper and will work on yeast infections she has not got hot spots because of the smell she needs a full bath not a fortune spent on spots 

I am not sure I would use very harsh products on this dog's skin, have you looked into Quistel?

[.dodger.]

yep she hasn't got hot spots and since i ain't got no money think i'll go with the Benzl Benzoate - do know where i can get this cheap Val? Can't find it on ebay?

Hi,

chemists Laura

or saddlers / horse shops (it'll be near sweet itch meds)

be worth asking Ava's mommy if she has some Quistel or BB you could "have a bit of" or if they can get it reduced.

BB - is about £10 for 1L

Hi again,

not sure how much you need laura but you can get 500ml for about £5 and 100ml for £2.

Val - how much do you recon she'll need ?

eta: me again !  some places will have it called ASCABIOL but its the same stuff.

[Val]

Buy it in the local chemist it's less that a fiver 

[.dodger.]

okay thats great thanks you two how much do you think i will need then Val? would 100ml be alright? Do i just dilute it into some warm water with a bit of shampoo?
