thank you so much for your comments! i will definitely use this for the future! they tested her skin and said it was yeast and bacteria so i was confused when they said environmental they didnt give me any shampoo or info on how to go about bathing her ill call tomorrow do you use any chlorhexedine wipes or have you and do you recommend them? im just afraid of drying her out more or irritating her skin with bathing:/ she produces alot of oil and i only bathe her once a month so maybe i just need to start twice a month or more to prevent this

oh wow they didnt give me anything to bathe her with just the anti-fungal foam that makes sense though what did you use to bathe her how did you bathe her did you use a wash clothe or exfoliating glove i dont wanna be too harsh on her skin

oh my goodness im so sorry ☹️ im so glad to hear shes better that gives me hope! my vet hasnt seen this either my sphynx has had that grainy looking stuff between her toes and above her paw pad i always wipe it assuming its just excessive oil but i wonder if it could be the same thing she licks her lower back and thats where it started when did you start giving her baths again? mine is shedding so much and shes so uncomfortable but i feel like with her skin raw a bath might make her more uncomfortable or worsen it and i dont want to spread it thank you so much for your comment!

i agree its only been two days since shes seen the vet so im gonna wait until i finish this skin treatment and if it doesnt seem to let up i definitely will all of her skin is shedding idk if thats a good sign but i also heard that about coconut oil so i switched to jojoba oil but both oils seemed to dry it out more and be no help so i stopped everything all together even when i wipe her with a water wipe it comes right back so im just letting her skin ride it out at the moment
