    Swollen, warm, itchy, bleeding paws and skin with hair loss on most of underside of my dog. Hookworms related?

    I find it interesting that I have been giving him so many herbs and healthy foods and his immune system is still not strong. I have had him for 5 months. Was it the hookworms robbing his nutrition?

    Thanks for the encouragement Ginny :) I need to keep him from scratching and licking off what I put on his skin. I just ordered a onesie for him to help with this. He really doesn't like the cone. I also have some socks to put on him. I will put some topicals on him to help the itch, as well as...

    I realized he was chewing at the areas where they scraped his skin and it irritated him.

    Swollen, warm, itchy, bleeding paws and skin with hair loss on most of underside of my dog. Hookworms related?

    Thanks for your response Dr. Jeff! I tried using Duoxo chlorhexidine spray on him for a couple days. He did seem less itchy, but on the second day, his feet swelled up. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I stopped using it. So I'm not sure if that shampoo is a good idea to try. Do you have...

    Thank you Aruna and Dr. Jeff! I was able to get Panacur today for him. So they did a skin scraping and he has demodectic mange and a secondary bacterial infection. They are recommending Bravecto for the mange, cephalexin for the infection, cytopoint injection and Prohex-4 shampoo for stopping...

    Swollen, warm, itchy, bleeding paws and skin with hair loss on most of underside of my dog. Hookworms related?

    I have another question before I go to the vet today. Which dewormers are safe? Can you tell me the drug in it, so I don't give him something I shouldn't, like in some of the monthly dewormers they will offer me? How often do you recommend bathing him? I have Dr. Bronner's castile soap with tea...

    Thank you Dr. Christina for your quick response! I actually had a phone consult with you a couple years ago for my other dog, Konani and you gave me the idea to journal. So I have been doing that or I would not have been able to remember all of the above information. I will download your journal...

    Swollen, warm, itchy, bleeding paws and skin with hair loss on most of underside of my dog. Hookworms related?

    Hi Aruna, That is fine. I sometimes get intimidated by vets who question why I don't want to do procedures or give medications that they recommend. They don't understand a holistic approach. But I can bring him and post the results here. Just want to confirm what tests are recommended? Thanks.

    I am also struggling to log in. The only way I can, is if I use one of the links from the Welcome email and log in that way. Otherwise, I can't log into the forum with the app or website. I'm not sure if there's a problem with two ID's, since I had made an account a few years ago. I just called...

    Swollen, warm, itchy, bleeding paws and skin with hair loss on most of underside of my dog. Hookworms related?

    Thank you for your quick response Dr. Jeff! His skin was already getting bad, but it was more on his abdomen, inside of back legs and arm pits. It was bumpy, inflamed, red, warm. He still is warm though everywhere. It has moved to his paws and neck more so now. I should have joined at that time...
