[nagdu] poodle with irritated skin

[Ann Edie]

Hi, Gary,

You might try aloe cream on the itchy/irritated spots.  It is very soothing
and pleasant, and the animals, as well as humans, seem to like it's smell as
well as how it feels.  If the scratching and licking are caused by something
other than just having been shaved, then you may have to look further for
solutions, such as getting allergy testing or checking for parasites.

Best,
Ann

Hi All:

Bogart went to the groomers on Friday. I asked them to not shave his tummy
area because he seems to get very irritated down there when this is done.
However, it seems like they did shave there and Bogart has been bothering
several spots all weekend. A sighted co-worker just looked at him and said
that there are a couple of red marks which is where he keeps licking.

Just curious what ideas/solutions listers might have to help Bogart be more
comfortable.

Thanks
Gary
