Red Dog Rash Under Front Legs & On Groin Is Getting Worse

February 5, 2014

Hi Amber,

From the photos you submitted, and the history that he was born at a shelter, the mother was probably vaccinated and he was probably ‘over’ vaccinated.

He may have a food allergy, but I am suspicious that he has an underlying vaccinosis. This is a condition that can trigger chronic illness in a susceptible individual. Vaccinosis can cause a weakened immune system, reactions to foods, environmental allergens, etc all occurring after one or more vaccine(s) is given.

Here are some suggestions:
1. Bathe with baby shampoo 1-2 times per week to ‘cool’ down his skin.
2. Make him wear an infant’s or small child’s white cotton T-shirt to prevent more trauma to his skin.
3. Give him oral Rescue Remedy as often as needed to ‘calm’ him down. Dilute the ‘original’ Bach Rescue Remedy in a 4 oz spray bottle. 20-30 drops in 4 oz of Spring Water. Use this spray to spray on his skin as often as needed to ‘calm’ the skin. (You will need to raise up his T-shirt to spray it on his skin, but LEAVE the T-shirt in place!) Only taking it off to bathe him. You can also add Rescue Remedy 2-3 drops in his water bowl once a day.
4. Give him Sulphur 12C or 6C, dry pellet or dissolve 1 pellet in a 2 oz glass dropper bottle and fill with Spring Water. Give him one dose TWO times daily for three weeks.

Seek the help of a holistic veterinarian to write an exemption to not give him any more vaccinations!
