We have been having a time with our sweet Poppy! There is a definite learning curve to English bulldogs and learning your puppy in general. Since Poppy has come to live with us she has had what I will call generalized skin issues. Random flakey skin, some crusty scabs, itching, and then a red oozy crusty sore that popped up almost overnight on her head. We have been to the vet a few times having her looked at and evaluated. The last time was with the red crusty sore and to evaluate all the random crusty bits on her neck and itching. The doctor said it appears to be environmental allergies and gave us cephalexin and some allergy medicine (canāt remember the name off the top of my head). It worked wonders! No more itching, all the skin issues cleared up, she was a new dog.
We finished them end of last week and starting 2ish days later she had a scaly yellow crusty rash on her neck folds and āarmpitsā. I put nu-stock on it and bathed her in duoxo Chlorhexidine shampoo but it didnāt seem to do much. I am sure this is yeast. We were moving house over the weekend and with all the chaos and people helping us she didnāt get her Kefir or coconut oil rubs for a few days, plus she just finished antibiotics. I feel like the WORST dog mama.
So here we are with a yeast infection. Do they have to see a vet for this or is this something you can treat at home? Iām trying to decide if I need to take the afternoon off from work and take her up to the vet. I read online that Miconazole cream can be used, so we bought some and we put that on since last night and already see a huge improvement. I just donāt want to go to the vet if the course of treatment is what we are already doing. Thanks for your input!
