My Goldie used to suffer badly from large patches of excema (dry). When he arrived with us I changed his diet to a low protein, gluten free dry food, which appears to really suit him. Whilst the patches have really subsided, he still has small patches appearing about the size of a tuppence mainly on his belly and groin, but random other areas in his coat. My vet initially gave him steroid injections but he was quite distressed after these with excessive drinking and urinating. Having approached my vet again, he still advises a steroid approach, which I have now refused.
Has anyone else had any success in managing this condition? Someone has mentioned giving him Piriton, another has mentioned tea tree oil? But before I use him as a medical experiment (!) I wondered if anyone had any success from a homeopathic approach?
Hes 18 months old now and part of me is hoping that the more he settles, and the older he gets, his excema may just clear by itself. What are your thoughts?
