So, the vet gave us malaket wipes for Aubie's red spot on her belly and said it was bacterial. We've been using the wipes twice daily as recommended by our vet since Saturday. I noticed today that her belly looks like it is breaking out into a rash. Could it be a reaction to the wipes?? She has had a pink belly before after playing outside, but this is much worse. It doesn't look like more of the red spots.
I had some Vet Solutions Universal Medicated Shampoo, so I gently washed her belly after she came in for the night in hopes it would help calm it because it always helped Aubrey's skin problems. I will check it in the morning and wipe her belly every time she comes in from outside to keep her belly clean.
Should I give her benadryl and keep with the wipes?
Should I stop the wipes, give her benadryl, and try treating otherwise?
Should I try the Malacetic Ultra I have instead (I notice it has Hydrocortisone instead of the other ingredient in malaket)?
Any suggestions for other remedies that might help?
I don't want to make it worse than it was by using something that may be breaking out her little belly. Any advice is helpful!
