Does anyone have any suggestions for a bad skin condition. Old Fella has to be bathed just about every three days or he begins to smell. He is on an antibiotic three times a day but doesn't seem to help. I have been bathing him with a shampoo the kennel recommended and that does help and Old Fella doesn't mind the bath in the shower with the warm water, it is just so messy. Water all over the place and then he shakes and that puts water all over the walls and everywhere else. Maybe he will have this allergy the rest of his life, I don't know? Does anyone have any suggestions??
The best you can get, would be one from the Vet or the Kennel where he was. They know his problem, and would make sure a Medicated Shampoo was best for the specific one. They usually buy it concentrated, by the gallon. Would probably sell you a pint, that you can dilute and use.
Shampoo for dogs is specifically designed for the PH factor in their skin and hair, so it would clean better than what you buy in pet shops. If you cant get it there, I'd pickup Lambert-Kay's Medicated Shampoo (Its green in color) the Vet may even use it. My wife has been a groomer for over 37 years, and will not use any other medicated.
