Hello, planning to buy flexadin & vetriscience derma; her current food is wellness grain free core ocean. Which of the 4 vetriscience derma options (derma3.6.9/derma strength pro/derma strength/derma strength canine supplement) should I buy?. Nikki's
I have had good success with the derma 369. If she has a lot of skin problems then I would talk to your vet about writing a prescription for derma strength pro. This one is a little stronger but is a prescription. I hope this helps!

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

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!

What can I buy for my dog for flea dermatitis
If there is a secondary bacterial infection, I would recommend using product called Duoxo Chlorhexidine + Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved. I would also recommend picking up a hydrocortisone spray (Well and Good at Petco) and apply daily to the affected area to relieve inflammation. If it does not resolve or worsens, I would have a veterinarian take a look at Harley so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps!

It looks like it could be a contact allergy of some kind. You can try the following: 1. This topical steroid/antibiotic spray. Apply three times daily until the skin is back to normal. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=135244 2. Chlorpheniramine tablets (antihistamine). He can have 1-2 tablets by mouth every 8-12 hours. Will help with an allergic reaction. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=113389 Both are prescription items but I am happy to authorize them for you if you purchase them through the above think. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
