Dog has been having these patches(attached pics) 5 mos. Now. Vet has prescribed him with chlorphenaime, prednizone, scavon, mycocide, itraconazole, atopex, even injected anti-mange but can’t seem to pinpoint what this is. He is also on a hypoallergen
HI, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Summer! Your Vet has tried a lot. My suggestion at this point is to see a dermatologist. I would have him on Nexgard or Bravecto to cover fleas, demodex and scabies despite the injections. I would start an omega 3 fish oil (see link). I would also do several seeks of an antibiotic and antiyeast. I would also use cytopoint. The dermatolgist can do skin testing as well for environmental allergies. You can try a thin layer of the quadriderm cream on the areas once daily but he can not lick it so you have to use an E-collar. It also will only help the symptoms you see not the underlying cause of his allergies. Do not use it for more than 1 week. I wish you the best https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19121

My gsd dog of 4month is suffering from skinparasites what to do tell me the treatment
Skin parasites can range from ticks/fleas where I would suggest a flea/tick preventive such as Seresto collar, Capstar or Bravecto. Bravecto is an oral medication that off-label can also protect from mange and mites. Bravecto can be ordered by your vet and the collar or topical flea/tick preventive is over the counter in the USA. Hope this helps! -Dr. Gordon

My 11 month old cane corso male, has dermadeco problem, vet doctors are not good here in my country please can you tell me what should i do to help him?! Or which is the best way tu cure him ? Best medicines, and so on...
I believe you have a typo here and you meant to say to that your pet Vito has a demodexx note problem. I am assuming this because of your pets age and breed. The easiest way to cure demodexx these days is to give your pet either Bravecto or Nexgard for 1-3 months. These are actually labeled flea/tick preventatives but they also treat for Demodexx successfully and a lot of my clients have been very happy with the results. They also like The fact that they can give one dose every 1 to 2 months and I have to give daily medication. This makes it very easy to give and the effects are just the same if not better than the old conventional way of treating demodexx which was to give a medication called Ivermectin daily. it is unfortunate that you have not build that trust with your veterinarians, but these medications do require a prescription so please ask them so you can get Vito started on medication right away to treat his skin condition successfully.

Can you use Hibiscrub in dogs with seborrhea dermatitis?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! The concentration of chlorhexidine in that formulation tends to be higher than what we normally use in pets. You can use a veterinary [chlorhexidine shampoo](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/septiderm-v-antiseptic-skin-care-bath-grooming-shampoo-for-dogs-cats-and-horses) which contains a more diluted version of the chlorhexidine. That could help with a secondary infection. The seborrhea sometimes can improve with supplemented fish oil. You can get a veterinary version of fish oil online or at your local pet store. Good luck and have a good one!

My dog is on Simparica to treat mange but which topical solutions would be appropiate to treat and help with the skin scratches?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Usually with antibiotics as most of the time there is a secondary infection present. If your veterinarian suspects a secondary infection, they could prescribe antibiotics. You can also use an e-collar to prevent self trauma. Good luck!
