One must ask what, in the dog’s body or environment, might have impaired the normal defenses of the dermis to allow a bacterial dermatitis to settle in, causing both you and your dog much distress. I would begin by prescribing probiotics rather than antibiotics (unless your dog is feverish and septic) and slowly transition from his regular diet to a hypoallergenic diet (rice and lamb, venison and sweet potato) over a five- to seven-day period. Give supplements such as fish or flaxseed oil and brewer’s yeast, along with a Selsun Blue medicated (human) shampoo, followed three to four days later by an aloe, oatmeal or calendula-based shampoo. Let your dog lie on clean (no laundry scent) cotton sheets, and use only white vinegar, baking soda and Orange TKO to clean your floors.
