My dog has a skin condition. Betadine isn't working. What next?

The next thing to do is go to the veterinarian. If the antihistamines are not working, he may need something stronger. These lesions could also now be infected. Make sure to protect the area from rubbing or scratching and he should wear an elizabethan collar at all times. Have him examined soon.

Betty looks generally red, so my biggest suspicion is that she has environmental allergies. However, mange should be ruled-out as a cause as well. The antibiotics are great for treating secondary bacterial infections of the skin, but will do nothing for the primary cause of the itching. She needs to go back to the vet and get the primary cause of the itching diagnosed and treated in order to keep this from getting worse. With appropriate treatment, we can often get this problem under control. For now, it's good to give a bath with just cool water once to twice a day. This will help to relieve the skin and possibly flush away any environmental alergins. I hope that helps and Betty gets better soon.

Hello! A picture of the lesion would help us give more helpful input. However, if Shiloh's skin is flaky and itchy, it could be a number of things, including superficial pyoderma, demodicosis, sarcoptes, yeast dermatitis, and ringworm. It is difficult to narrow down the causes without doing an exam on her or at least seeing the lesions, but it is very likely some sort of infection (whether bacterial, yeast, or parasitic) so I do recommend bringing Shiloh to the vet. Your vet will be able to determine the cause, and Shiloh will likely need prescription medication (antibiotics, antifungals, or anti-parasite, along with possible medicated shampoo) to clear the issue. Depending on the severity of the issue on her skin, it very likely might not improve without prescription meds, so it is worth having her seen as soon as possible. Additionally, depending on her age, she may have some underlying condition that might be making her skin susceptible to infection, such as allergies or hypothyroidism. I hope this helps.

Oh my poor Minnu. Minnu has a pretty extensive skin allergy and unfortunately nothing over the counter is going to have a good chance at curing this. In fact allergies are often not cured, but instead they are managed with diet and medicaitons form the vet. Allergies in dogs are also not straight forward for every pet and take time to figure out what your pet has an allergy to. I would start with making sure she gets a good high quality flea preventative everything month to rule out any potential flea allergy. Then I would recommend considering doing a food trial for her for the next 2-3 months, to rule out a food allergy. My top picks are Royal Canin Ultamino or Royal Canin skin support. Then I would treat her skin infection with oral antibiotics prescribed by your vet, as well as treat for the itch with an allergy medication. Ask your vet about Cytopoint injections (if applicable) or Apoquel tablets to treat for her allergies. You can continue the baths if they are helpful as well. But Minnu needs a vet visit at this point to get started treating her allergies more effectively. Here is a website link that also discusses pet allergies and food trials more in detail. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A
