questions about skin conditions for a westie?
I have two west highland terriors and one seems to be prone to Skin Conditions…before you tell me to get to the vet…I have already been they charged me a ton of money to tell me they do not know what is causing it…anyhow I am wondering if there is a shampoo and or dog food which is easier on them? Any westie owners with any info would be appreciated…
Right now I am using an oatmeal shampoo and Lamb and rice dry dog food….
Westies are one of the most predisposed breeds to experience dermal allergies. We call it “White Dog Disease” as a blanket term at the vet clinic where I work.
Most dog allergies appear dermally, but can be caused by many different factors. One being gastrointestinal, another being environmental factors. HESKA has a good allergy test that (yes, I know… the dreaded “v” word) your vet can conduct. Costly, but definitive.
You might want to ask your vet about hypoallergenic DOG FOOD. (I’m not kidding.) Hill’s Science Diet Prescription Diet Z/D, Z/D Ultra, those are your two bestest bets. Your vet can recommend a trial of the food, but you have to be set because you won’t see results right away.
If the food trial doesn’t work, would you consider oral medications? If so, there are a ton of antihistamines that vets use, but we see WONDERFUL results with a medicine called Atopica. (Again, no immediate results, but you have nothing to lose.)
Westies are wonderful dogs. The only problem with highly specialized breeds are the flaws which come with them. IMHO, mutts are the healthiest! LOL
Good luck with this, you just need to be hardheaded. You can treat this!

What is your effective treatment against eczema?
Both of my children have eczema. I’m sure if you have it too, you know the whole barrage of things you try that don’t work or don’t work well enough. I try not to use their steriod cream unless I have to which is often. I don’t want to use Protopic or Elidel b/c of the recent discussion of possibly causing cancer. I don’t want to treat them for something now to trade for something far worse in the future! What do you use or do that has been the “magic trick”? Any other non steroidal creams?
collodial oatmeal baths nightly(oilated Aveeno)
or use sofsyn bath oil nightly warm not hot water.. if you can’t find that, ask the pharmacist for one that does not contain perfumes….you do not want doak oil, that is for psoriasis…
pat them dry, rub them down with vaseline
give them a antihistamine a couple times dily, stick to the directions on the bottle…., it stops them from itching and keeps their little fingers off the eczema, scratching it and getting it infected.. it will also calm them down a bit….
get them on a diet of fresh fruit, veggies, no sugar, white cheese only, no white flour only whole wheat items like bread, pasta, tortillas, etc…., chicken, off fast food and deep fried food and there should be no excessive milk drinking, do not cook their stuff in the microwave and try not to fry their food.. bake it or bbq it….
they should be drinking lots of water and get them out in the fresh air and doing things like walking, bike riding…
use only baby shapoo on their hair if the scalp is involved…
use the steroid creams on the areas that are really bad.
they should be wwearing cotton as much as possible, this is important especially for their socks, as synthetics make them sweat and make it worse….
if an are is really bad, make a compress with some aveeno powder and warm water and hold it on the spot for 5 min a couple times a day.
get rid of the normal soaps in your house and use only oilated soap……
if they go swimming, make sure it is not a chlorinated pool, this will cause them problems, if they get wet in a sprinkler, make sure they remove their wet clothes and dry off well, never rub the skin hard, pat it dry…..
there are lots of little things that you can do to help them…
