raw butt
He has been pooping normal - It seems to bother him because he's all hyper and uncomfortable and would bite it. Do you know any remedies or cause of this? I plan to take him to the vet on Monday if it doesnt get better (vet's closed for the weekend). |

| I have no idea but I'd get the vet to check it out.... |
I haven't tried it but some people I know swear by a little Listerine applied to a sore dog butt. Apparently, the antiseptic qualities are cleansing and refreshing.  |

hmmm not a bad idea. Thanks:) |
| Wonder if you mean Witch Hazel?
Listerine has alcohol in it and will burn. |
| Try a little aloe vera gel, it should have a cooling effect and it won't hurt him if he licks it. |
| How about Balmex? (diaper rash ointment) Nelson had a rash on his chin from constantly being in the water bowl. Seemed to clear it up quickly. |

| Maybe i'll try the Balmex on Pepsi. His butt is also raw. I also know he can't reach his butt to lick it. Too fat!! |
| Poor London!
I know all about having dogs that are not well  so I feel your pain.
It is hard, because he is thinyou don't want to hold food back, yet it would be nice to give his back-end a break..... What kind of anticeptic could you use? I'm thinking of a saline solution of some sort, or something soothing like that, to clean and sanitize, but not burn. We used that when Dixie had her sores, and mixed a solution of 1 teaspoon to a cup of warm water. Dixie send her kisses, and Bosley is not up to a bear hug, but sends his sympathies! Hey, are you guys going to go to the picnic in Michigan? The pooches would LOVE to see London again! And Don and I would enjoy seeing you guys, too! |
| My vet recommended diaper rash cream. |
| I recommend Bag Balm. I know it was developed for cows, but I've used it on all animals and myself (for chapped hands) and it works great. |
| My dog had the same problems. I tried diaper rash ointment, hydrocortisone cream, antibiotic ointment and various other combinations. Nothing was working, so I researched on the internet and read about Sulfodene for "hot spots." I started using it yesterday, and today there is already a noticable improvement. You can buy it at Wal-mart for less than $4 a bottle in the pet section. |
Diaper/nappy rash cream works, or the nappy rash powder, but best too for the vet to check it out as well.  |
If you use the listerine, let us know how many finger you still have. That is going to hurt.  |
| My oes mix had the same thing and he had an anal gland infection. I would check with the vet. keep us updated. Good luck |
