Thanks Carol. maybe i can ask them if it would help, cause what they are giving me does no good at all, just shampoo to use every day , yet i read on net you shouldnt bath dogs with Exema very often, and i worry about the injections all the time sure they can t be doing his blood any good thanks again.

sound like the shampoo they gave you is for mange what the foxes have is it greeny/blue colour
if not happy i would ask them to refer you to a animal hospital

Hi there , I get a little excema from time to time and also as a hairdresser I see lots of people with young babies with cradle cap ( bad form of dry scalp ) one thing i find works great on both ,and there is no reason why it wont work on dogs also, is extra virgin olive oil. At room temperature with clean fingers just massage a little into the affected area ,wash hands after each eye so you dont cross infect incase its not excema . Do this at least twice a day best time is before bed so it stands less chance of being rubbed off on the carpet and it will absorb over night see how it looks after about a week . as new skin can take up to 28 days to devellop you may need to persevere for a while but this is natural and cannot harm the eye area , and as it will keep the area supple it should prevent the irritation that is so uncompfortable with excema .

Hi Everone thank you all for the help you have given me , i am going to try all your suggestions one at once , i have been to vets this morning and they now only want us back once a month, and just to use the shampoo so i will have time to try everything at home they say he will grow out of it as lots of young gsds get emema , but im still going to try all, as hes not comforable with it, i notice this afternoon while brushing him he has a couple of breaks on his chest also , so thank you again for all your help
