male dog is raw on his nut sack

Question
I have 3 male rot / lab mix, one is raw on his nut sack and is constantly licking himself there. what can we put on him that will help ease this problem.

Answer
Some types of breeds are skin sensitive others are affected by allergies. Hot spots and some other skin irritants can be cured with something from the pet supply store.

You can try more soothing solutions for skin while bathing and otherwise. Shampoos containing oatmeal and lavender are good for irritated skin. An oatmeal rinse is great for calming skin irritations as well.

Foods can activate allergies as well as not produce enough nourishment for your dog. A lot of commercial dog foods contain byproducts and grain substitutes for quality ingredients. Think human grade. Whats the labels FIRST ingredient? Do you know what all the ingredients are making up your dogs food? If not, its probably not a great quality.

If the problem persists I would suggest taking your dog to your vet for an allergy test to confirm what is ailing him.

Oh, there are also some bitter tasting sprays you can get, just make sure they are safe for the skin and are natural products that dont contain further skin irritants.
