Pomeranian with Itchy Skin

RE: Pomeranian with Itchy Skin Post By Mia (Guest Post) (11/21/2008) I have a 5yr old Pom. She is constantly itching, and we do steriod shots at the vet about every 3 months. It will go away for awhile, then in comes back. Here lately, she has had this bad smell to her, almost like urine. Her skin is very flaky, and she gets a bath with oatmeal, a flea shampoo, and then a conditioner every week. What do I do?

Golds Bond medicated powder works wonders and stops itching immediately. More expensive, yet more effective and easier to apply, Bio Oil.

She gets almost RAW feet, scratches, from time to time NON-STOP. No hair-loss, temperature, loss of appetite.. The only thing that works is Vetalog injections. Downside of this is sooner or later possible cause of Diabetes. Benadryl works on and off. I have her on Natural Balance (lamb & rice), Platinum, Organic Shampoo (once a month, followed by a "lion-cut"), Flaxseed Oil, Mixed veggie's, Organic back yard. Don't know what else to do. I'm open for ANY advice. Thax V! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pomeranian with Itchy Skin Post By Lisa (Guest Post) (07/08/2008) Hello. My dog has itchy skin also when I bathe him with shampoo. I have been washing him lately with just white conditioner (Treseme). He has not been itching since I have been doing this. I figure he gets clean from rinsing him off really good with the water and the conditioner does make him smell nice. You could also get him some dog conditioner and just use that. I happened to have the Treseme on hand. Make sure it is clear or white. No colored or dyes in it. Hope this might help. Also, use cooler water at the end of the bath.

We try not to bathe him too often but then he gets stinky, so we can't NOT bathe him. And he keeps scratching all day and goes crazy, he runs around banging himself into walls because of how itchy his skin is. We've went to 3 vets and none of them gave us a decent solution. We've tried the shampoo they'd suggest but it doesn't work. They've also given us sprays to spray on him but none of them work either. It really upsets me to see my dog go through this torture because I love him very very much. I wish he didn't have to go through this and I'm in desperate need of a solution for my dog. How do i carefully use the oil you guys are suggesting, or where can I get these foods. Please help.

I just happened to look at it today because I noticed clumps of fur on my floor, and he has a bald patch the size of a quarter and the skin is raw. I made a vet appt for later on today, but I was wondering if theres a home remedy I can give him to make him more comfortable until he sees the vet.

Since I have been buying the Revolution selamectin flea treatment that you put on there skin each month, she has now stopped scratching and the skin no longer has that dandruff look on her hair. It's specially for itchy dogs and its very common in Pomeranians. Hope I have helped a little.

(Guest Post) (01/20/2008) We have a 4 yr old that is very itchy as well. This is a first for us, and it has developed over the last few weeks. He just moved down from the north to Texas, so we thought it might be the dry winter weather down here. I have started putting flax and olive oil on his dry food, and a little sprinkle of sea salt to help with taste and water retention. He does love the flax and olive oil, though. No hair loss, just super itchy! I will try an oatmeal soak today.

Now she has dandruff. I took her to the groomer to get cleaned and told them of the situation, hoping they would do something for her. She came back worse. I am going to try some of the suggestions here if there are more suggestions let me know. Thanks.

I was giving my little Pom fish oil, olive oil and coconut oil for itching and hair loss. Not all at once but obviously way to much. She developed fatty liver but is doing fine now on special food. Just be very careful please don't let this happen to you. Also, have your Vet check the skin by scraping it to make sure it's nothing that a special dip or med can fix. Good luck to all of you.

She still chews on her feet daily though they are not red, and she has goopy eyes every day. I add olive oil to her food once or twice a week. I'm wondering if I should vacuum more often (dust mites). Any suggestions?

I use to take him to the vet every month and he would get a steroid injection to kill the itch and he would be put on antibiotics. He would clear up for awhile but it always comes back. I have resorted to using Head and Shoulders intense shampoo which contains zinc and alternate with Aveno Coloidal oatmeal baths. This seems to help but he still have much custy, scabby places on his sides. I will try adding the olive oil to his skin to see if that helps. Great website. Thanx.

Don't know if it will help in this situation. But I'd definitely add the coconut oil or the exv oil.

It's a natural way to give them oil and essential fatty acids and nutrients. Not just a superfood for humans! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pomeranian with Itchy Skin Post By edieparks (Guest Post) (01/07/2006) I LIKE ALL the suggestions ( especially about adding some sort of oil to diet). Virgin olive is a good suggestion too. Please dont start feeding only soft food. I think it is good for special treat but starts tartar build up on teeth. edie Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pomeranian with Itchy Skin Post By dotty (Guest Post) (01/07/2006) Go to Tropicaltraditions.com and buy some organic coconut oil, give her about 1/8 of a teaspoon with her food, My lhasa-yorkie loves it and her coat seems to glow, and she has no itch problem. It is healthy for humans too.

I use to part time do demos and had to learn about the product and had all the literature about this. I feed this brand to my cats and their coats are healty and no skin problems.

We got a shampoo from the Tractor Supply Store (TSC) With a conditioner and oatmeal bath in it. I think the oatmeal bath is what does it. It cost a little more, but, it is very good. We bathe her every 2 weeks, and the problem of the "itchies" is gone, plus she is very soft, it also has a "baby shampoo" scent.

Quality foods are more expensive, but in the long run, they are very much worth it. You can also mix in some egg and a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the food. Do use the shampoo you got from the vet as well.
