I am desperately seeking a remedy for a skin staph infection in my 17 year old westie. She has had mange (dermodectic) which was cured within 3 days by Teds' cure of borax & hydrogen peroxide. I am now facing a skin staph infection which is making her loose her fur along her entire back in patches. The skin was scraped & there were no mites. It seems to be spreading & the vet has her on an antibiotic. I am not sure that it is working. I have also given her a medicated bath but the shampoo that the vet sold me has a lot of chemicals in it along with salacitic acid. I'm not sure if there may be A BETTER antisceptic solution for this. If anyone has any suggestions I would be so grateful for some feedback. Thanks in advance.

Please look at the diet! Think seriously about a raw meat and bone diet. You can learn everything about this at barfworld.com. Seriously! My dog has been eating this diet (frozen patties thawed and mixed with yogurt or cottage cheese, some boiled chicken and french cut green beans (just a little)) for 11 years. People compliment her beatiful coat. Your baby's skin is most likely a reaction to dry food diet. TRY this... you will see results almost immediately and within two weeks, the condition will be clear.

Try manuka honey. It can kill lots of different strains of bacteria, even the resistant ones.
