Armpit rash help!

[Nakittymom2]

This is the second time my calico baby has had this rash. First time just one armpit and I gave her an oatmeal bath, put coconut oil on the rash, and slapped a shirt on her to keep from licking. This time it spread to both. I have a vet appointment Monday and she’s not changed behaviorally. Just wondering what has been seen/experienced in the group and accepting of any advice.
Thank you!

Any changes in your detergents. Any different blankets etc as well?

@Nakittymom2 , does she wear clothing? sleep on a heated blanket? perhaps prickle heat rash?

glad you have an appt on Monday. all paws are family.
sharing, coconut oil can clog pores. I stopped using it. several of us keep on hand non toxic vetericyn spray. I do wipe downs for over a decade with trizultra w/keto and dab on any skin scrapes or irritations when mine rubs on sisal cat tree or rug. you can ask vet about the products. hope for a proper diagnosis , following for updates

I would be suspicious of yeast. Keep us posted on what the vet reports!

Hey Sadie’s momma! My Nugget has had similar issues and they did a skin scraping at the vet and it came back that it was a bacterial infection. Amoxicillin, Douox soap and more frequent baths help. However, we are currently dealing with this for the 3rd time. Again the antibiotic we are going to be trying the antibacterial mousse next to create a barrier between on the skin. I’ll update on if it helps! Good luck with the widdle one!! Hopefully she’s doing better!
