[Dailydrool] Basset sun burn

[Dale Rutz]

Good morning all,

We've got a new challenge with Snoopy.  He likes to go outside and sunbathe and 
it seems he does not concern himself with the dangers of UV radiation.   He goes 
outside and layes on his back in the grass in the sun and grins.  We are not 
always at home to monitor his exposure.  He has pink skin on his tummy to start 
with and while he has a furry belly the fur isn't nearly as thick on his tummy 
as it is on his back... and if he sunbathes too long he gets these red bumps 
like my DH does (he also doesn't tolerate sun well) which itch.  I've tried aloe 
which helps them heal and also hydrocortezon cream (which helps the itch).  I've 
also tried speaking with Snoopy about limiting his exposure, but to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dale

With Snoopy (somebody pass me the sunscreen) and Cyrus (I'm a black dog, if you 
want me I'll be in the shade)
