debra yuhasz I wouldn’t chance it. Human meds are usually stronger than pet meds and can do more harm than good. It’s not wise to give any meds unless instructed by a vet. A lot of human meds are toxic to animals.

Dawn Ferara, DVM The best thing to do is take her to a vet, there is not anything you can do at home.

dale dacey Dawn Ferrara. I would not have asked the question if that was possible. I’m isolated and no where near a vet clinic.

Anonymous i would first get a skin scrape done at the vet to figure out the cause of the dandruff. better to treat the cause than the symptom. 🙂
that said, i would go with a gentle, dog-specific shampoo…bathe your dog in tepid water (not cold, not warm…just slightly cool on your wrist), do not scrub against the grain of the hair, and rinse thoroughly. this is how we avoid dandruff in dobes.

My Overweight Calico Cat, Her Name Is Raja, Has Some Kind Of Sickly-sweet Smelling Dark…
My overweight calico cat, her name is Raja, has some kind of sickly-sweet smelling dark discharge coming out of her butt, i can’t tell if it’s her anus or vagina. The skin around the base of the tail and lower back is also super sensitive. She has just today started showing signs of pain but the discharge has been there for weeks. What’s going on?

Briana Precord She is spayed, about 6 years ago. She is 7. I know I need to bring her to a vet, I just haven’t had the money, but ill have enough soon. I just wanted to know what it might be and if there’s anything I can do in the meantime. I’ve tried to see where it’s coming from but it’s very hard to tell and she is finicky when I try to look. If I had to guess though I would say her anus.

Briana Precord I was thinking along the lines of anal sacs issues too, but nothing I looked up described what’s going on. Ill just have to wait until our vet sees her. But anyways, thank you for helping me out, I appreciate it!

Dawn Ferara, DVM I really can’t see how the deep fryer oil could have caused this skin problem. However, I think she has a significant skin problem and needs to see a vet before it gets worse.
I was also thinking that could be it. We will call the vet in the morning and I hope for the best. Thank for your help.
