SOOT:
Atopyi is triggered by soot (especially) on the ground. But there are other components.
Is having a MASSIVE (head to toe) ATOPIC ALLERGIC attack.
Car smoke lands on the ground and your dog gets into it. Soot gets into the coat and its oils, and causes irritation in the skin. Dogs get real itchy and lick themselves and sometimes those licked areas get infected from the spit, soot and plasma.
Washcloths remove the soot from the 'whole dog' as would a hose-rinse. Washcloths are easier on the daily than a hose-rinse.
Cetaphil Wipes cleanse the inflamed areas of the skin, bellies, necks, feet even ears.
And then some judicious use of steroid sprays, or tablets or injfections can rein in the symptoms.
#cytopoint is better than those things but you STILL have to keep the skin clean and moisturized.
There's hardly any atopy in Colorado. You can even go out into the country, Florida, and other less-smoggy areas and your dog can have a better skin while you're there. THEN you come home and they start licking and chewing again.
You can buy a fat bundle of 'wet wipes' with Cetaphil and I'd recommend it. They're great for cleaning healing wounds, dirty ears, cleansing around some eyes, under-tails, surgery sites, sores.
They are ALSO available right down the street at just about any store that sells makeup or cotton balls. So good.
