[Dailydrool] itchy flew disease

[Beverly Szaton]

No there is nothing horrible wrong with her other than she is a Basset, it
is summer, it is humid, and the flaps never completely dry. Then they get
infected and/or the dog gets a raging yeast infection, and it itches
intolerably.
Drying their mouths GENTLY several times a day, esp. after drinks and
cleaning their faces after meals helps. I found that using Pyoben Gel on the
flews helped a great deal. It is a slightly astringent anti something or
other, that you get from the Vet, but it works. What also works is the Acne
meds like Oxy-10 --the little pads. Ok maybe I better put a conditional
statement in here: It has worked for Mitchell every summer. He's my
rug-rubber, my pant-leg-wiper, my drooly, itchy, face-rubbing,
frantic-scratching boy. Every summer.


Sometimes they need an anti=biotic, too.

Momperson to Mr.ItchyFace Mitchell (and the rest.--Llewis is scrubbing his
face, too.)
