Nikknoo Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hi- my rescue pup has been suffering with zrd and demodex mites, she's been poorly For weeks and we're finally getting over it and she's showing signs of improvement. She accidentally scratched her face which ended in a deep cut & bleed, i put dermisol on it but she licks it off straight away- I've tried sudacream and coconut oil too but it doesn't last long either- it seems to be getting worse by the hour!! She did have a small bald patch but it's getting bigger. I just don't know what's best to put on it to encourage healing and hair growth???

Carly Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'd be inclined to speak to the vet on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I would also be inclined to speak to the vet first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 If it were just zrd then I would think the sudocream would help. That's what I use for ice and although his is only mild it does help reduce the redness. The added complication of mites being a factor I would think your vet may need to take a look and possibly prescribe something extra if that's the root cause. Fingers crossed for him, that does look a little sore, bless him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Vet for sure, maybe see if you can get a referral to a specialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikknoo Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I took her to the vet. They thought that it was linked to the demodex mites- I got antibiotics and am treating her with a dip weekly. Trouble is its where she licks her lips so any cream I use gets licked off so the wound is always moist.

Emma Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Awww. Yeah that is a pain. I had to use a steroid cream on Bears lip once and tbh it was a struggle just to get it on her and the first thing she did was lick it off. Very frustrating. Fingers crossed she picks up soon.

Navi_n_Tavi Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 For the breakouts my girl is having, I've been using baby rash cream. The one I have is 40% zinc. It improves redness really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
