Jennifer Lee Webboard User Reg: 12-16-2007 Posts: 2851 Loc: oklahoma Offline	We got a few fleas, so I have been vacuuming like crazy, everyone has had a fresh dose of frontline and both dogs just had a bath. Nico is severely allergic to fleas and already has some nasty spots cropping up on her already irritated cancer skin. So I went ahead and gave her a prednisone and will do the normal 5 day routine of 3,2,1,1/2,1/2,1/4. Normally we do 1/4 every other day as a cancer treatment, but the vet has ok'd this 5 day course in cases of severe itch outbreaks. The only itch spray I have has cortisol in it and I don't want to double on steroids so I was considering sprinkling her bad spots with some gold bond powder to help soothe and cool it. I thought I might also put a drop or two of lavender oil in it to help soothe and repel any of the remaining nasty fleas. Is this safe? I am finding mixed reviews of gold bond usage on animals.

I would suggest either their baby powder or plain. Just make sure to use unmedicated. The medicated stuff burns like crazy.

She gets Vit E, but I think I need something a little drying vs thick and goopy to help keep her folds and creases from getting yeasty. It is the baby powder kind, the stuff in the blue bottle does burn like crazy!

That's funny you say it burns - never heard that. I have used it, with the blessing of several vets, for years on hot spots on several different dogs. They never act like it burns at all, in fact when I get it down they run right over. I've also used it on myself for things and never had it burn. Maybe it's different for everyone! We love gold bond - the green medicated one. It has dried up many a hot spot!
