I have a staffordshire bull terrier that has a red rash on her tummy, can some one help with a natural remedy?


Answers:
the rash culd be an allergy, or it could be a fungal problem or disease.

dont mess with your dogs health by looking for a cheap way out.

take the dog to a vet.
.
Give her one regular benadryl tablet. With the changing in the seasons dogs are getting rashes from the grass and everything else blowing around. I give my dogs benadryl every year for allergy/rashes.
get some cotton wool and soak in vinegar ,and clean tummy with it .vinegar is a good antiseptic and also releives itching ,and will in no way hurt the dog
It could be the food. What are you feeding her? The breed is know to have skin problems. My pit was on IIams and he was allergic to something in it. I recommend Nutro Max. it is all natural. It will cost a little more but they won't eat as much of it. If it is not the food i would not give her anything without consulting a vet first. Just in case.
Tea Tree oil or a rosemary infusion may help. However if the dog is allergic to food etc. these might not help.Also make sure the bedding is clean and flea free(fly mites could also cause this)
