Is there any over the counter medication for dog dermatitis?

My neighbor"s dog has a condition on it's tail. It is a type of dermatitis (vet diagonose last time). The dog's tail has lost hair in a certain pattern. It looks like a rat tail, bald spot then hair then bald spot again etc. The bald patches are rather dry and scaly with no redness. Unfornutatley at this time she is not able to take her dog to the vet and wants to know if there is any over the counter medication that would work. Thanks.

She can still call the vet, because it is a FREE call. She should get advise directly from the vet.



The best dog shampoo that I have ever used is called Crown Royale. I purchased it at a local dog show. They have formulas for various breeds.



If you cannot find Crown Royale, use either Aveeno or Mane and Tail, along with the conditioner.

I really doubt it. Maybe she can ask the vet to let her pay him later. It would be really tragic if the condition spread. If the vet has already diagnosed the condition he may be willing to simply sell her the cream/ointment and not charge an office visit. She should call and discuss the matter with the doctor. A good vet should be willing to work with her. I have such a vet - good luck!

Some herbal therapies can be useful for skin conditions.



Among the herbs most often recommended are:



閳?burdock root (Arctium lappa)



閳?calendula (Calendula officinalis) ointment



閳?chamomile (Matricaria recutita) ointment



閳?cleavers (Galium ssp.)



閳?evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis)



閳?nettles (Urtica dioica)
