So as you all know Violet has done amazing on her weight loss journey..... Now I have a issue with what I would call "chub rub" however it's mostly extra skin in her case. She has had moist dermatitis (basically a hot spot) all her life and she will have flare ups about every couple months. This past week (I think due to the weather change and all the pollen) it has been a bad flare up. We are using Tritop ointment that was send with her when she came to live with us (they sent 5 tubes from the vet). The Tritop clears it up pretty quick however the fold of skin on her tummy stays moist and ooze. This maybe TMI but it's like boob sweat (ya know). Anyway when she was fluffier the skin didn't fold on its self so when the flare ups happened it wasn't to bad. She got the cone of shame yesterday and was not happy at all but it is the only way I can brake the cycle of her licking it.
So my question or any input is what do you think I can do to help with the folding skin (short of a tummy tuck). Poor baby needs a body life due to all the extra skin everywhere (tommy, elbows, neck & face). I went to the natural food store and got a natural drop (you put in her food) that they said they can't keep on the shelf for cat and dog hot spots. I am going to keep the cone on her and try diaper rash crème once the red spot goes away. This usually take two days once I start the Tritop and I am on day two now (it looked 80% better this morning). I thought attaching pics but didn't want to freak anyone out because it looks so bad when it flares up.
