my doggie shih tzu X Pekingese has a allergy problem... the previous owner took him to vet but seems like the allergies wont go away... can anyone suggest me any thing that make his allergy go away?
hi hi, does it look like small small puss?? maybe it's allergy to food or a secondary infection to a current skin prob. last time jerrie used to have too. a lot at the stomach area. very geli. but i switched his food to lamb n rice formula. sprayed lemon solution to prevent scratching, and apply a cream called Himax (indian herbs). after a week, it's gone. hope this helps
thanx for the replywell these days, my dog doesnt like to eat his food. I believe the food is some kind of chicken. Me and my bf is thinking to buy him different food. Well how can i get the sprayed lemon solution and Himax? can you tell me more?
hi, b4 i start, have u brought ur furbaby to the vet? maybe can get better opinion. but anyway here's the recipe that i got fr one of the forum members becos my jerrie was diagnosed with mange and his skin was itching a lot back then.

For the demodectic mange I would suggest using a lemon tonic that you can make at home.
1 lemon whole lemon sliced thinly 1 pint water bring water to near boil add lemons, let steep overnight. Sponge on once a day.
The above recipe comes from the book by Dr. Pitcairn (I can never remember the title)
Below is how to prepare the treatment for the skin wash.
This "recipe" by Pitcairn has worked for me in order to treat very different kinds of skin problems. Since there are a few out ther, thought I might send it along (from Pitcairn&Pitcairn "Natural health for Dogs&Cats"):
- Slow boil in a liter of water 4 lemon skins (I squeeze the juice for lemonade) for about 20 min. - Let it cool down for about 1 hour - Put it in a closed container and leave it a couple of days (for the natural oils to "dissolve"... I think that there is some kind of rotting going on as well, which helps quite a bit) - Strain it into a squieting bottle - Squirt freely over damaged skin (sounds crazy, but actually soothes quite a bit and the D-limonene helps in skin recovery)
You start seeing results in about 6 days in my experience. I added my personal touch: 4 teabags of chamomille in the boiling water.
i usually use the first one. hehe simpler. as for food, i think lam n rice shud be the way to go. n most experienced members here will suggest BARF. maybe u can try that too. maybe Surchinmy or others may be able to give more opinion
oops i think i forgot to tell u about Himax. it's in a tube form, the herbs smell is strong. u can get it fr petshop. where about are u staying? maybe i can tell u which petshop to go to..
hi, long time no see! thanks for the advice.. my doggies skin is recovering! well i made him a lemon solution but i guess the rice&lamb for his dog food helps!
hi, my 4mths shihtzu also got skin problem... redness in neck areas..when healing, a dead skin will like danduff and new layer of skin in pink color will be there, fur not rebond yet... this problem already 2 times..about 2 week once and take a week to heal.
today i go pet shop to buy Eukanuba Lamb and rice formular. previously, he take Eukanuba Chicken... lets see what's the result...
may i know which brand of Lamb n Rice food u r given to u lovely dog??
How good for Eukanuba L n Rice ?? (Do u have any ideal... Coz i am new....My shihtzu is my 1st puppy...so i m lack of experience :)
Not all brand Lamb & Rice dog food is the same. If you like to feed ur dog with 100% Lamb & Rice you can try this two brand : California Natural & Nutro
I don't think ur Shih Tzu have allergy with Chicken ingredient. Hope this help.
It's may be due to shampoo yaa...lasttime u got mention me the #1 all sys...may i know how much is it?...i m living in subang...where can i get it from...
besides, i m also worried may be his problem is mange...
Sorry no experience in Mange problem before. Did you bring ur dog to the vet? You might need their opinion on ur dog problem. Cause when come to skin problem there are so many factor that can causes it.
I think the shampoo is about RM45. Don't know which pet shop at subang jaya selling. But you can get it at SS2 petshop.
