Madeline looks like she has a diaper rash-Have any of you dealt with this? It doesn't look horrible but it is red and I do not want her uncomfortable. Besides keeping it clean, Is there anything I should be putting on it? #PoorBaby

@pdxxsphynxx2017 Do you have a pic?

Many of us keep vetericyn spray on hand for any skin issues

Vetericyn Plus All Animal Wound & Skin Care Treatment

I have used the Vetericyn VF (vet formula ) too -
They report its twice as strong as the regular plus spray
I have used both successfully
Prices vary online

I use the vetericyn skin and ear , and otic products on my crew

Is Maddie on the same food and as previous?

Does it look like she could be Senstive to scented litter or if a food change?

Any other areas ? Belly ? Paws?

Her previous owner did say it was due to her sneaking into the dog food-I am not planning on changing her diet so she is still on the same food and same litter, I really dont want her uncomfortable. I will order the Vetericyn VF now. Thank you so much.

@pdxxsphynxx2017 , With my adoptees , I get a vet wellness check along with a poo sample check-

It's a Good way to establish a relationship with a vet and get a good baseline -

I always ask to to listen to heart for any obvious heart murmurs -
A good once over for a baseline :)

This way if any issues , best to get meds on board and nip in butt sooner than later :)

Hi Madeline! Love your pics , you are settling in nicely :)


Does she sit on a heat pad or one of those microwaveable pet heat disks ?
I found they get warm

Sorry to hear Madeline has a rash.
Besides the vetericyn spray, you could try to clean it every day with a washcloth and dry it carefully. If the rash is caused by dry skin you could put some coconut oil on it, but be careful cause coconut oil attracs dirt.
