When I got my puppy I noticed discolored bumps on his chest and belly along with a bald patch on his arm and tail. I took him to the vet immediately and he had RINGWORM ! (Very pissed about this for just having got him from these people that seemed very sure of what they were doing !) The spots on his belly and chest were some kind of skin infection the vet said is common with puppies. I have antibiotics for that and cream for the ringworm now.
I guess my question is what can I do to get him to stop scratching?
Is a banking soda soak safe?
I tried the anti itch spray from the store and it doesn't seem to help for very long. I tried calling my vet but I couldn't get through to them today. There has to be some kind of home remedy for intching !

My GSD has the same "spots" on his stomach that the vet just said is normal in puppies, however now about 2 months later he has it AGAIN! grr it makes me think it's more than what they said, but the spots don't bother him, so I'm going to let it go unless they get bad.

Well these spots are scabby and when when come off they're like yellowish green. They've been driving him insane! I had to file down his nails really well because he was making himself bleed!

Bullet's are too. They almost look like small dime sized brush burns. I dislike it. Thankfully he doesn't pay any attention to them.

Hydrocortisone spray that you use for anti-itching in people. I got some for Kale when he had a hot spot on his face and it worked great. I got it at CVS and got the generic CVS brand one.

ETA: Its called "Instant Cooling Itch Relief-Intensive Therapy"

How often did you have to put it on? The spray I have wears off fast or he licks it off and is scratching again about half an hour later.

When Koda had his hot spot, we soaked the spot with some peroxide and put baking soda on it. It's the oils that make something itch. Any alcohol will dry out the spot and relieve itching. The baking soda deters them from licking. That's about as "home remedy" as I can get.

Ringworm straight from the breeder is a warning flag to me, but it can happen even with the best breeders. Check out the How to Find a Reputable Breeder Thread to see if there were anymore red flags other than that

They weren't really breeders. Their dogs just had puppies. I don't think they knew. Then again his spot is large and obvious so idk how they missed it.
Thanks for the tip ! I'll try that when he gets up from his nap

Lol I meant I don't think they knew about the ringworm. I do think they were trying for puppies but they aren't registered. I wasn't looking for a husky when I was looking to get a puppy I just saw their post on a bulletin board and decided between him and a chihuahua. My husband doesn't like tiny dogs so there we have it. I'm pissed about it but I'm glad I have him to give him the care and attention he needs and was clearly lacking.

I use hydrocortisone cream on itchy/hot spots. I only apply it maybe 2-3 times a day when I have had to use it and if they bother the site at all in between applications I simply stop them and redirect their attention.

I'm stopping him all day long but it's at night when we're asleep or trying to that he just whines and whines about it the other night I got up and saw he had scratched himself raw in one spot. Today has been better. I tried the spray again and this time put way more on and didn't care if he got all oily feeling and he seems to be doing okay. He just looks disgusting.

Would an e-collar at night keep him from bothering the site(s) perhaps? Btw, I love your new signature. Both your dogs are gorgeous!
