also consider it may not be the oatmeal. Might be something else in the shampoo. Try a soap free shampoo like Chlorhexiderm or maybe the new one I just ordered that others on BDW have been talking about, "Micro-Tek." I haven't tried it yet, but it's coming.


I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

I like zymox shampoo for skin issues.

that's a strange allergy........

I use a shampoo with tea tree oil in it. It's wonderful!

I know you have tried everything for Rocky, curious if you have tried The Missing Link? It has really toned Josie's red itchy scabby skin on her back that was so bad and her hair is growing back on her chest. I also switched to TOTW fish, which i am sure helped but I am convinced the Missing Link made the biggest difference. Tamsen

i too have tried the really expensive stuff, wellness, natures choise, etc, and she has done great on TOTW. I am liking the missing link so much that i am agoing to get the avian version for my parrot, he has some feather "issues." glad to hear things are looking up. tamsen

so hard to think I get him cleared up, use the shampoo and cause his belly to get all yucky again, poor boy,

I have heard great things about it, I will have to go online and find it, other than that i now have hoim on a lamb & brown rice kibble, and they are both doing great on it, I have tried every expensive dog food you could think of, and my daughter was feeding her bullies the cheapest food around and they were thfiving on it, so I gave it a shot, who would have thought that it would turn out to be good for them------so far that is, I made sure the protein is only 23% and they seem to love it, so keeping my fingers crossed.
