What preparations are suitable for animals with skin allergies?
Most skin allergies lead to areas of Dermatitis, which we usually refer to as eczema. It is always important to first identify the cause of the allergy. This may be from something the animal has eaten or it may be initiated by direct contact with the skin. Whatever the cause the end result will be inflammatory type skin reaction. This irritates the animal leading to rubbing, scratching and licking of the areas. When trying to help this type of condition first remove the cause, if known. Gently wash any discharges and accumulated debris from this area with dilute Aloe Liquid Soap. Dry the area. Then spray lightly with Aloe Veterinary Formula. Follow this with reasonable amounts of Aloe Vera Gelly rubbed into the area. Repeat the Aloe Veterinary Formula and Aloe Vera Gelly combination 4-6 times daily. Too much washing can make the condition worse. As the eczema improves, the daily applications can be reduced to twice daily. If the area is particularly infected change to the Aloe Propolis
