> bacteria that causes wet dog smell
My dog had a terrible yeast allergy. His paws would swell, his hair would fall out. He was constantly itching. We had to bathe him twice a week with what was basically a shampoo form of Vagistat, and every day had to coat his paw pads in actual Vagistat, and in between the toes and pads. Oh and tons of steroids 10mg 2x day.
He HATED it, but it kept him itch free, and he never smelled like wet dog.
The steroids also served a second function we didn't know at the time, they kept his brain tumor under control for about a year until we found it and had grown too big to be controlled any longer. So it gave us an extra year with him before we had to put him down after 2 days in an induced coma trying to get the seizures to stop.
