My dog's rash is wet and oozing after Betadine. Is this normal?

Oh my poor guy. If you have already tried Betadine to resolve this skin condition then it is best to have Diana seen by your veterinarian at this point for stronger, pet friendly allergy medication to help with her skin condition. I would ask about trying Apoquel allergy medication for Diana. Environmental or food allergies are likely the cause of these skin lesions. Here is website link that discusses canine allergies more in detail. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1535 Until you can get Diana in to be seen by your vet, you can try an over the counter aloe based or oatmeal based shampoo to help soothe the skin a little bit. Also a pet friendly Fish oil from your local pet store has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can help somewhat. Best of luck with Diana and her skin allergy issues. Take care.

Poor guy. Yes you can put diluted Betadine 50:50 with warm water on it to antiseptically cleanse the area. Hopefully it will heal over the next few days. You may also have to clip the hair around it to prevent debris from the hair from contaminating it, which can lead to infection. If it does get infected, then he will need to see a vet for oral antibiotics and debridement of the area. If the cut is too deep, then he may need stitches.

Hello, thank you for your question about Snowy. It sounds like Snowy has developed a hot spot, which is not uncommon from chewing and licking. You could gently cleanse the spot with a very dilute betadine solution until you can see your veterinarian, but I would not apply any ointments. Ointments can hold in moisture of the area and delay healing. Hope this helps!

You should soak the foot in dilute Betadine solution. Warm water, add enough Betadine for it to be a light brown color. Soak 5-10 minutes 2-3 times per day. ( https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/31058/betadine-antiseptic-liquid-hospital-500ml )

This presentation could be due to a trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking (if any).

Poor guy. I would recommend keeping these areas clean with a Betadine rinse diluted 50:50 with warm water for the first day or two, then doing copious sterile saline (from local pharmacy) flushes. You may also want to place an e-collar (cone) on Wein so that he can't get to the area and lick it, which will only cause further irritation and infection. This will help keep infection at bay until he can be seen by your vet. I hope Wein's skin problems resolve soon!

It sounds like your pit has a allergic dermatitis and he may have licked or scratched the area so badly that a deep pyoderma (skin infection) has now formed. He will definitely need to be seen by your veterinarian for strong medications to stop him from licking/scratching the area and then a short course of antibiotics to clear the infection. You should do it then work with your vet nearing to find out what it is he has an allergy to.
