[Marine91]

You can also order a gallon of chlorohexidene from Amazon for around $25 plus shipping and cut it with filtered water and have enough to make your own pads for a year or two.

Yes, I just saw you are in Hempstead. @1Chumly uses the same vet as us which is Brittmoore Animal Hospital in Houston. We use Malacetic medicated wipes for bad breakouts, but we use just plain baby wipes, and witch hazel daily. I buy the medicated wipes off Amazon, they are $20 but at least its 100 count, not 25. They last us a good while bc like I said we use them when really needed but mainly use witch hazel Which is cheap!

Here's the link to wipes on Amazon:

And we use this Witch Hazel, which I buy at Walmart, along with plain jane sensitive free baby wipes for folds, tail pockets, paws, etc:

Hope it helps! And so happy that Broly is back to his normal self again! No more raw hides!

Thank you! i will defiantly look into those, are the additives in witch hazel better than just using plain baby wipes for the folds?

yes, witch hazel has a drying agent in it. Also helps with yeast, itches, bites, skin irritations and its a great general cleanser. Even for us

Just get a container you can seal and some round cotton makeup pads. Then dilute the chlorohexidene with 2, 3 or 4 parts water to each part of solution depending on strength required. You can even use it full strength if you want. There are varying strengths you can buy but 2% usually does the trick.
