I have two 4 year old chihuahuas and lately they have been getting really bad itchy skin... it gets to the point where one of thems scratches so hard and she bleeds.. Ive been reading alot of different things that may cause it, so im gonna point out with somethings they just recently started doing different 1. They eat cat food (alot) 2. They wear little clothes 3. I sometimes use human conditioner on them 4. they eat pedegree (which i heard was really bad) 5. I have a cat that recently had babies and sheds alot of hair. 6. Im ashamed of this but they havent gotten their shots in about 2 years.
If anyone can tell me what im doing wrong and what i should be doing please, please let me know! I love these things to death and i hate to see them suffer like they do!!
I know i should be taking them to the vet but i am very low on money and it kills me : (
My Chihuahua has very itchy skin!?
#1) Cut off their access to cat food and get them on QUALITY dog food, like Canidae or Wellness.
#2) Definitely could be aggravated by either sizing in the clothing or the detergent / fabric softener you use. Stop dressing them. They do come with coats of their own.
#3) Human shampoos and conditioners are not good for dogs as they are too harsh - even baby shampoo is too harsh - wrong pH. Get an oatmeal or TeaTree Oil shampoo designed for dogs. Don't bathe too frequently as it strips the skin and coat.
#4) Pedigree - First let me say that wheat and corn are empty fillers in dog food and often cause food allergies. Second - here are the top few ingredients from Pedigree Dry Small Breed Adult Dog Food (first thing listed being what it has most of):
"Ground Whole Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Rice, Corn Gluten Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with BHA/BHT), Meat and Bone Meal, Natural Poultry Flavor, Wheat Mill Run, Potassium Chloride, Wheat Flour, Salt, Carmel Color..."
Two out of the first 4 ingredients are corn, then there are a couple types of wheat also... chicken by-product meal means anything not fit for human consumption - beaks, feathers, feet. Animal fat and BHA/BHT are not what I would want in my dogs' food.
#4) Call your local PetSmart or animal shelter and see about low cost vaccine clinics; some vets also offer payment plans. Spend your $$ on good food and vaccines instead of clothes; otherwise you're killing THEM. :(
Reply:Stop making them wear the clothing for a couple of weeks. Then, go buy some Head and Shoulders INTENSIVE CARE (dark blue bottle) and use that a couple of times a week. Rinse well after bathing. You should see a difference if it is just a skin issue. Otherwise, yes, it could be an allergy. That would require input from a good Vet.
Reply:Of course the obvious answer is a vet. Try putting a teaspoon of vegetable oil in their food every other day for a week and see if that puts more moisture in their skin. Use baby shampoo and do not use conditioner. Give them a bite of tuna every day or so (on the days you don't give them the oil). That adds oil too. Good luck
Reply:One by one, I would imminently either alter or withdraw all together the daily routines or conditions that has settled in your home. At first, I would expose their fur by having them stop wearing clothes. Next, I would stop serving them cat food and serve them homemade foods that are safe for them to each, such as scrambled eggs, cooked meat lacking gravy, spice and bones, on an daily basis while monitoring the condition on their skin. If it worsens, I would stop bathing them in human conditioner while continuing to monitor the ailment. If there is no revolutionary progress, I would ask further advice from animal rescue, a local dog shelter, the dog owner community (like Yahoo! Answers: Pets) and last but yet importantly, a veterinarian. These dogs may be hiding the severe internal pain as their scratch their skin or God forbid, they may be dying. Don't wait a month to see if each of the steps are working. Take about two weeks for each step.
Reply:I have a friend that had a dog allergic to chicken and was itching like crazy. She quit buying food or treats with that and it cleared up. Little dogs tend to be nervous and it could be stress. Feed the cat on a high place the dogs can't reach. It isn't good for dogs at all. A couple other common allergens in food is corn and soy. Read your label and switch if you need too. Also pick up a medicated dog shampoo. Ask in a pet store and the clerk can help you decide what to get for dry itchy skin.
Reply:okay the first thing you need to do is STOP washing their coat with human shampoo. Go to wal-mart, buy a 4.00 bottle of dog shampoo with oatmeal (in my store it is near the leashes). It works just as good as the more expensive brands. (trust me i have tried them.) Then go buy them DOG food. cat food is formulated for CATS, not dogs! Ol' Roy is fairly reasonably priced and is good for them. YOU can find it at wal-mart. Then get some olive oil and lightly drizzle their new DOG food with it. Not too much but enough to wet it. Since you're low on money don't drizzle too much until you know they will eat it. When we got my Chihuahua his skin was flaking and dull. After using the wal-mart shampoo and adding olive oil to his food he has stopped flaking and has a shiny coat. Good luck! Feel free to email me if you would like more advice!
Reply:Hi. i know exactly how u feel. have two dogs myself, and verry little money. But when one of my little babyes are hurting i take them straight to the vet. they are like my little children and money is no object.
If u are absolutle flat broke, why dont you phone your vet and tell them about your situation and mabye make a downpayment plan? and if it makes u feel better, my little dog, a mix of west highland terrier an dwarf pudle had the same problem, and the vet gave me a cream that made the scratching go away in hours. trust me, they know what they are dooing. and about the cat food, my dogs eat it also, not because they like it, but becase it is not in their bowl, remember that when u are dealing whith dogs u have to concider their personality also, especiay whit chihuahuas, the smaller they are, the more personality. My friend has one and she is marking her territory like a male dog.And please dont use human products on your dogs. if the vet wont let you give downpayments, get some pure aloe vera gel and rub on your dogs skin. that is going to help the scraching and get rid of infections in then skin x
Reply:ok
cat food is very bad for dogs. ( not saying thats causing the itch.. but could be)
Pedigree... is also a bad food..
you want to check the ingredients on the bag... you want beef, chicken, lamb.. no by products... or corn meal...
I use purina "one".. maroon bag... just purina dog chow.. is not good...another good one is Maximum Nutrition.
I do not recommend human conditioner.. how often do you bathe them? too much bathing can definately cause dry skin. causing them to itch.
just use dawn dishwashing soap. ( dilute it alot though)
if they have fleas.. this will kill the fleas also.
you can give them 1/2 cc or benedryl. It is safe for animals.
I dont think them not having vaccinations has anything to do with it.. but if your low on money.. u can order vaccinations online.. but if they mainly inside dogs... and not alot of strays around.. I personally would not be worried..
p.s. please read the label on your (everyones) dog food.. if you really love your pet.. you wont feed them corn.
Ol roy.. is corn. all corn.
Reply:first of all get them there shots!
and im 100% sure that it is the pedigree or fleas! I used to feed my dog pedigree and his skin was dry flaky and itchy1 aas soon as i started to feed him all natural foods like innova evo, innova california natural his coat was shiny and so soft i was stunned! Pedigree contains Corn and ALMOST every dog is allergic to it and it causes the itchy and flaky skin. Another thing bad about theses commercial dog foods like purina, pedigree, iams eukanuba etc. (please dont feed your dog any of these.) contain perservativesd like BHT which cause kidney failure! You should also check if they have fleas or ticks look carefully through their haur and see if you see little black dots which are flea eggs annd see if you actually see the fleas! if there are fleas just get Advantage its a tube that you out on every month and it really works it keeps fleas away it only cost $10-12. it will keep them away not scratching all the time. Hope i helped!
good luck =}

5 y.o son itchy skin after bath?
My five year old son has itchy skin. It is worst after his bath. He is allergic to Eucerin. I tried that once and it gave him a terrible rash. Dove does not help, we used that for several months with no improvent. Any suggestions would be appreciated on lotions, or soaps that could help. He does have eczema, but can not use the Elidel that he used to use because of a reaction with another medication that he is on.
5 y.o son itchy skin after bath?
try ivory i have eczema also its the only soap i can use you might also try triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1%
Reply:Could be fungus. Wash the tub and don't wash the towels with the bathroom rug.
Reply:There are tons of other creams (I would use a cream or ointment over a lotion) out there -- you might have to experiment a bit - Aquafore, Cetaphil, Vasaline, etc... You want a cream that is good for sensitive skin - does not clog pores and has no fragrance or dyes in it.
Since it sounds like you have seen a derm for his skin - try calling the derm's nurse and see if they could put you together a packet of sample creams - most derm offices have tons of different types of lotions in sample sizes. That way you won't have to spend a lot of money.
The big thing with eczema is that it is dry skin that rashes. As you find a cream that works, keep him nice and moist and the eczema should start to subside. Make sure that his baths aren't too hot -- hot water causes additional drying of the skin which will make the eczema worse. As soon as he gets out of the bath, pat him dry (not too dry) and lotion him up. The faster he gets the cream on him, the more protective it will be. Warm dry air and environments will also contribute to theeczema.
Good luck

I am allergic to Ivory so I can not try that with him as he still needs a little help. Also tried the Triamcinolone Acetonide cream and that also interferes with a medication that he is on for other reasons.

You can try the Aveeno oatmeal body wash. Thats what my husband uses because he also has eczema.
Reply:personally do not use elidel because lymphoma is a side effect- i try to stress that because i lost a sister to lymphoma sept 11, 2005..... have you tried palmers cocoa butter lotion?? i also have eczema and i know how painful it is... that seems to work for me... as far as cleanser- have you tried cedayphil lotion?? you can use it in water or not.... it is fragrance free and has gentle moisturizers.......
Reply:i've had eczema since i was born and my skin still itches after i leave a bath.make sure whatever moisturizer your using has no colouring or perfumes in it. One thing my mum used to do(and i still do)is you could try putting some porridge oats into a bit of materiel(like a sock or a cloth)tie it at one end and soak him in the bath with that in it,it was always a brilliant way to help with my itchy skin. Having the bath too hot can also really aggravate sensitive skin. The cream i use and have been for ages is called Astral, however,a really good cream for after the bath is called Diprobase.If you mix that with some oil from vitamin C tablets it work a dream.
But believe me, don't use any creams containing perfumes or colouring, they will irritate his skin a lot more.Eczma, i have learned over the years, responds more to natural things, i only use steroid creams if desperate(ask your doctor about these
Reply:my daughter had really bad eczema and Johnsons soothing naturals lotion and body wash really helped her. Also another good lotion is Cetaphil which also has a body wash.
Reply:I would try just washing him with water for a while. The only thing soap really does is basically make water wetter..longer technical explanation to that but thats what it does. It breaks the surface tension of the water molecules to make it wetter..
use a clean cloth and no soap and see if the condition gets better.
You may also want to go to a health food/supply store and buy some type of natural organic soap. It is the chemicals in the soap that he is reacting to.
Some places are carrying more organic items now too if you do not have a health food store near you. GNC may aso carry something.
Reply:Stop giving him baths--switch to showers so he's not sitting in water and isn't sitting in soap. Water actually dries out skin (weird, I know) and many kids are sensitive to soap. My nephew loves the Aveeno lotions, we also use Vaseline on him when it's bad. He uses a regular bar of soap--the Johnson and Johnson no slip kind, Huggies baby shampoo, and his showers last two minutes or less. It's the only way we could keep his skin from getting itchy and we lotion him up before putting his clothes on. He also has eczema.
Reply:you could try more sensitive products for his skin; but if his skin is so irritated, i think that you must go to doctor and see what's the problem

Is it true that itchy skin is a symptom of kidney problems?
This is a general itchiness all over but no rash, spots or bites. I've heard that liver problems can cause an itchy skin, but kidneys too?
Is it true that itchy skin is a symptom of kidney problems?
They can, but you would have other symptoms and be rather ill.
Chances are you have an allergy to something.
The body getting too hot can also give these symptoms.
Keep checking for a rash or bites, sometimes they don't come up straight away.
If you are very concerned please visit your doctor
Reply:No...itchy skin has to do with the histamine in your body and your kidneys don't have anything to do with histamine.
Reply:not heard of that before but I know when i was young i had itchy skin quite alot and my nan used to give me Milk of Magnesia, which helped....at that time my nan told me that my blood was hot......not sure if thats true or not....will have to look into it :)
ooo just googled it...have a look at this website for more details
Reply:i think its liver problems that make you itch.My mum had jaundice and the itching drove her mad.
Reply:Yeh i get itchy skin aswell.. i dont mean to be outright but i get itchy on my chest and sometimes on my legs just after i have had sex... p***** me of sometimes and when i itch i go red... :S
Reply:Hi
YES - I had a kidney transplant a few years ago and when my kidneys failed - I had itchy skin - it was due to the excessive UREA in my system - If you are worried about kidney problems - don't listen to rumours - go see a doc and have an IP profile done on your blood.
Itchy skin could be anything - find out for sure what the problem is and then you are in a position to dealt with it on the basis of fact.
take care
Reply:hi,yes i have heard this as well it can be a symptom of kidney infection,but there are other symptoms as well.itchy skin can be from allergies and other things as well,check it out with your doc if you are worried.good luck.
Reply:Yes, My father needs a liver transplant and he itches like crazy. His doctor said its a symptom from his liver failing.

What can I do to relieve itchy skin due to drying?
I live in Northern British Columbia. The fall weather is lingering but the air is drying out steadily. The skin on my upper back and shoulders and back of my scalp is becoming itchy. We also have relatively hard water. I believe the salts in the water are being absorbed by my skin more with the drying atmospheric air, causing a bit of an alkali reaction. Whatever solution exists to this problem would probably have to neutralize this alkali bloom on the skin.
What can I do to relieve itchy skin due to drying?
if it's really bad, maybe you need to see a dermatologist. if you want to try at-home remedies first, then i would suggest buying either an in-shower conditioner for your skin (i think dove makes one, they work just like a hair conditioner). it's also important not to dry off right away, your skin needs moisture, so walk around and air dry, don't strip the water off with a towel. when you're mostly dry, moisturize with a lotion for dry skin, i suggest vaseline intense moisture lotion.
Reply:mousturize them with lotion or oil.
Reply:moisturize. lotion. etc
Reply:hydracordisone cream with 2%.....works like a gem...any drug store has it
Reply:use a emolient cream like keri lotion. it is a bit greasy at first but it will definitely help...
make sure you wear cotton against your skin, and dry off well after your shower. You might try a emolient soap like oilated aveeno, it will not dry out your skin.....
If you have a bathtub, once a week, fill the tub, put in some oil, ( baby or sofsyn) and soak for 15 min. pat your skin dry and apply your lotion....
you should be appling lotion on your body everyday after your showers....
Reply:Vaseline Intensive Rescue lotion for dry skin is just fabulous, amazing and I would know, I am in Kuwait at the moment!
Reply:put some baby oil in your bath water and when you get out put some moisturizing lotion on yourself...for your scalp you can give yourself a hot oil treatment and use a good condition...u can also get a good leave in conditioner for your hair that you just spray on and don't have to wash out...hope this helps!!!
Reply:Increase the humidity in the room you are living in... that will help.
Reply:just apply lotions (choose the one for very dry skin ) as often as you can...you can avoid this because this is climate you have in your country but at least it will ease the itchyness and lessen dryness.

I use Udderly Smooth cream. Lists only 4 things in its ingredients. Doesn't feel greasy.
Reply:Try a lotion/cream that has silicone in it. Also, maybe put a humidifier in your home, to add moisture to your surroundings. Also, are you drinking 8 - 8 oz. glasses of water per day? That should help. Take care.
