Puppy Itching
Itching Dog Skin Driving You Nuts Top 12 Causes And What You Can Do To Ease The Misery
Itch, itch, scratch, scratch… thump-thump-thump… I honestly have no idea who whines more when our dogs have itchy skin problems, us or them!
They are obviously being driven nuts by chronic itching, burning, or stinging pain, and so are miserable. You’re worried, stressed and worried about how to help them, especially when what you’ve tried up to now will not be working.
As a professional animal communicator and master healer, I am often asked to utilize Amstaff, Bull Terrier as well as other varieties of dogs with skin ailment problems. This is sometimes a complicated tangled knot to unravel, fraught with a complexity of contributing causes.
It is the bane of vets everywhere who valiantly battle to keep your Amstff, Bull Terrier, or other variety of dog’s skin intact and healthy. And, lately we’ve what appears to be an epidemic of skin related problems.
Usually your vet offer steroids to suppress the hypersensitive reaction, antibiotics, and expensive medicated shampoos. All that does is suppress the symptoms for a time and does nothing to eliminate the source of the problem.
In the long run, your Amstaff, Bull Terrier or other dog breed will suffer from the recurrent itchy problem which may be worse over time, developing hot spots and oozing sores. They will also have problems with the numerous debilitating unwanted effects from the steroids themselves, that may shorten their lfie. AND, your Amstaff, Bull Terrier or other dog breed could possibly be allergic to the medicated shampoo!
What’s a caring, loving responsible dog parent to complete?
Allergies are a symptom of a body experiencing toxic overload and systemic overwhelm. There are better ways to approach the situation.
Listed here are the most notable 12 factors behind itchy skin problems:
1. Thyroid and hormone imbalance, including over active adrenals from stress. This can also result from spaying and neutering developing a sudden and dramatic effect like forced menopause…
2. Food allergies including an allergy to rice, wheat, soy, corn, dairy, and nightshade plants like potatoes, tomatoes and peppers
3. Low quality polluted water, especially regular water or water that is bottled in plastic that has carcinogens like benzene inside…
4. Heavy metals or other hidden contaminants in your Amstaff, Bull Terrier or other variety of dog’s food and environment…
{5}. Environmental allergens like hay, pollen, grasses, weeds, connection with toxic plants…
{6}. Preservative chemicals in the food, in the cans themselves or the packaging, bedding, shampoos, toys…
7. Pesticides, both used orally, topically and in the environment
8. Wormers which are poisons that affect the liver and kidneys
9. Antibiotics which have destroyed the intestinal balance of probiotics and enzymes
10. Flea allergies, along with the topical flea/tick treatments
11. Parasites like pinworms, tapeworms, roundworms and the like which thrive in a polluted, toxic human body.
All those things must be considered and addressed. However, the number 1 cause of skin issues that few vets will let you know about is this:
12. Vaccinations using their many negative effects. Over vaccinating your Amstaff, Bull Terrier or other breed of canine could cause a great deal of chronic long term problems including auto-immune disorders and degenerative disorders, like joint and arthritis, diabetes, cancer and digestive problems.
What exactly is it possible to do about it?
1. Go homemade – food, that’s. No longer commercial pet foods. Decide to try feeding your puppy a bionutritionally sound diet that includes organic steamed vegetables including garlic in a bit of broth (low sodium is ok), natural raw or lightly cooked chicken or turkey or lamb, an excellent quality grain, and include the proper supplements like vitamins B, C and E, and full spectrum trace minerals like zinc and selenium. Make sure to include a superior quality fat like extra virgin essential olive oil and coconut oil which are all essential for good health as well as happy skin and shiny coats.
2. Rebuild their gastrointestinal system. If they aren’t allergic to dairy, offer yogurt or cottage cheese, and/or add probiotics and enzymes to help them eat up it.
3. Clean water only. Purify their water with reverse osmosis water filtration or another kind of quality filter.
4. Use natural flea, tick, mosquito and parasite prevention. You should use a vital oils formula like Cedarcide(TM), mulch your yard with cedar mulch, or use The ShooTag(TM) which are all viable non-toxic alternatives to flea preventions and oral wormers. Beneficial nematodes will clear your yard of fleas and their eggs. There are also herbal treatments for parasites. Keep in mind that if your baby can’t touch it, then it can’t be good for your dog either.
{5}. Soothe the itch naturally. Aloe vera gel and coconut oil can help soothe the itch, as can many homeopathic remedies, including rhus tox, pulsatilla, arsenicum, apis, nux vomica, belladonna and mercurius vivus. Visit a professional’s assistance to determine the right remedies for the dog.
{6}. Vaccinosis Homeopathic Protocol. No more vaccinations while your pet is ill, or you’ll make the situation worse because you shouldn’t vaccinate your dog who isn’t well. There are ways to calm the inflammation using homeopathic medicine. Again, contact me or visit a professional for assistance in determining the best protocol for your dog.
The good thing is this: Not just will your dog start feeling better soon, but you will too. Because what’s good for your pet, can also be healthy.
