Dear Sue,

 

I am sorry Megan is having this trouble.

 

You can read about allergies and dermatitis in dogs here

It does sound more like yeast than thrush.

FOR HER FEET:

 

"For some itches, we suggest soaking in a baking soda bath. Adding 1 cup of baking soda to a tub of warm water and then soaking 30-60 minutes. Take dog out and let them air dry (this works best if done outside or in an area where there isn't carpeting as wet dogs drip...a lot). Local itches can be covered with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water."

Here is info on yeast:

For the sorenes on her vulvba give her either one half tsp of cranberry juice or 100 MG of vitamin C every day.

 

It will reduce the PH of her urine and make her bladded inhospitable to UTI bacteria.

 

You can also dab her vulva with a damp teabag 3 times a day.

 

Please let me know how Megan is doing.

 

I hope she feels better very soon.

 

 

Warmest best wishes,
