Posts: 301 04/05/10 01:52 PM	Tags : None I'm taking Buddy to the vet's today to find out if he's got another yeast infection (skin). We went to visit my Mom over Easter, got home last night, I had to give him a bath to calm him. The poor guy has sores all over again that are scabbing and he is chewing his one foot and forearm raw. This is the 5th week he's on a raw diet, do you think he could just be cleansing more now. We've upped the vitamin E....and will be going back to the trip in his food. Everything I've been reading again....with regards to a skin yeast infection, veggies are not good and it's best to stay away from them. These veggie patties have bok choy, apples, carrots, pear and something else...the last 3 are high is sugar, totally loved by yeast. Poor guy is so tired and frustrated from itching too....and I do not want to do the pred again. It's been 5 weeks off of that as well!!!

I wish I could say something, but I just don't have a clue. Hugs, Cindy and Nash Nash was born 9/2/1998, and is my sweet 1/2 breed Cocker Spaniel/English Springer Spaniel. He was dx'd with diabetes in November 2007 and is currently on 9 units of Novelin N twice a day. Nash went blind approximately 6 mnths after dx, has glaucoma and gets eye drops 5x day

So at least we can give him Baytril for that and get it controlled and move on. I am so very happy to hear that. Gave him 2 of the baytril when we got home, that's about 3 1/2 hrs ago and can certainly tell that he's calmed down. At least now when he's itching, and you tell him to stop he at least listens. I also asked her to check his eyes as I've just caught what I thought to be cloudiness in them. She advises that he doesn't have cataracts (good news) just natural aging of the eye. She said that she could still see the back of his eye and they still looked healthy. Will now be looking for a supplement that may assist the eye. Just wanted to let everyone know that we don't have to deal with a yeast infection...... I am sooooo happy!!!

It has been a while, but I had to give Brandy a bath 4-6 times a week with special shampoo. I used a horse brush when she was wet to get off all the dead skin. The vet told me to get as much of the dead skin off as I could. This is a breeding ground for bacterial infection. Dawn

Posts: 2894 04/05/10 08:29 PM	Yes it was ocluvet, and \I see Dr Lee has mentioned them in his post as well. Not cheap. but have read excellent reviews. I think I have also mentioned the Zymox shampoo, for yeast AND bacteria. It is great!

Posts: 10004 04/05/10 08:57 PM Administrator	Yep, I saw that too Joan. What is the product running (price wise)? If the Zymox shampoo works 1/2 as good as the ear stuff, then it's GREAT!

Posts: 301 04/06/10 08:50 PM	Yuowza.....checked the prices out on line for the ocluvet $115-$130 for 15 ml I'm sure it works well, but if he doesn't have cataracts and it's just thickening of the lenses, I'd be more proned to try supplements if possible. Will also try to see if there is a generic brand as well. Off to do some research!!

Posts: 10004 04/06/10 09:58 PM Administrator	Hmmm, did it say how many drops a day, and how many times? The only reason I ask, is Nash is on all kinds of drops with his glaucoma, and his 10 ml bottle that is given 5 times a day, one drop in each eye, one eye 3 times, one eye twice, lasts about 6 weeks I think (I'd have to go look at my notes). But, that is pricey for something that may not work. Have you thought about calling the manufacturer to get their thoughts on using it for something other than cataracts?

Posts: 301 04/07/10 08:33 PM	Joan, can I ask where you get your Zymox shampoo? I can't find anything here and the Malaseb I have to order online, but lots of places are out of stock???? Buddy slept most of the night, what a nice treat...still a bit of scratching, but the meds seem to be kicking in....as long as he gets some relief that is the main thing.

Administrator Moderator Posts: 3887 04/07/10 09:16 PM	The best ear product I have ever tried. My vet recommened it for Penny who had lots of ear infection. Once we started to use it no more ear infections. I am going to look for the shampoo. Brandy needs a new bottle and if there shampoo works as well as the ear stuff. Dawn

Posts: 301 04/08/10 07:15 AM	Thanks Dawn!! I will be getting some today. I was looking at the Maleseb stuff but found some places you needed to wear gloves while using it. Well if I have to wear gloves, I can only imagine what it does to the skin??? But lots on all the boards have used it?? Can anyone comment on this?

Posts: 10004 04/08/10 07:22 AM Administrator	I think there are just a couple people who have used the Zymox Shampoo. But, there are quite a few of us who use the Zymox Ear (I order the one with the Hydrocortisone). Dawn, I think gets her's at the Vet, but I can't get my local, so I order mine from Entirely Pets, for which I gave the link a couple posts above this. That link is directly to the page with the Shampoo, but you can look up the ear once you're there if you are interested. I felt this was very reasonable, at right around $17 with shipping, compared to the Momentamaxx the Vet use to sell me at nearly $60!

Posts: 301 04/08/10 08:57 PM	Okay, tonight was not a good night. I ordered the Zymox shampoo & rinse when I got home from work; Bud was doing not bad with scratching. Jay said he was not bad during the day either..... I'm scratching his bum and notice that his tail stubby is totally swollen and red, nothing else around it is out of the ordinary. I clean it up and put some burrows solution on it to help soothe it. We head out for I'm not sure it was even an hour to grab some stuff and we come in and he has totally chewed the side of his upper hip area, it is raw, red and futher down same thing. Right now I am so upset I am ready to cry because he is so uncomfortable and itching. I broke and gave him some prednisone, because whatever is causing this reaction needs to be stopped before he gets an infection so bad, he gets very ill. That is my greatess fear right now...... We'll watch him overnight and if nothing is changed by morning, back to the vet and I'm requesting a blood panel be done, because something is up and I'm not letting him suffer because we're not getting any answers!!! Please anyone have any suggestions................

And she just got off the steroids and antiobotics so I spent half the day on line checking out and I am going to try to beat this with natural solutions, food change and possibly another vet, will see. But I use the Zymox for the ears, and the shampoo since what the vet gave doesn't help.
