Dealing with the ITCHIES!!

[Cataholic]

Thank you for this information. I am having such a problem with Jasper and his itchies! We have tried the medicine approach, the pred, the anti histamine, the antibiotics, and I just don't think it is working at all. I will switch to the 'free' laundry detergent, and see what happens.

thanks!

Oh, I hope it helps! Let us know.

I did 5 loads 2 day in a row, then 2, 3 and 4. Trying to get through everything. Then what happens? The weather changes, and we need our Winter clothes out. MORE laundry to do! Yes, the things went away clean, but with the 'wrong' detergent.

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming this could also happen with cats too. I've always used All Free & Clear because I have sensitive skin and I don't like heavy perfumes or heavy scents. This is another reason why I use unscented cat litter and my cats like it too. Good luck with your laundry.

Awesome! Delta has gotten the itchies real bad the past two months. I started her on sardine oil (she was on salmon oil but throughout the moving I stopped and soon realized this is very important stuff! Coat wasn't as nice and itching started a lot) I also put her on Flax Oil. These have both cut down the itching tremendously. I need to remember to add eggs >.< Lol I've slacked in that region too.

One of the few downside of owning a bichon! Pepe is always red on his paws from licking...I've been on TOTW for a while now and do use oatmeal shampoo, going to try a few more things on this list, thanks!
