loriusgarrulus Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Try Coconut oil on their skin where the irritation is. Not the spray as that is a mixture with a small amount of coconut in it.. You can get coconut oil in jars from most supermarkets as a semi solid white oil. Its a natural antihistamine. Cheapest place to get it is Home Bargains and Asian supermarkets. A good shampoo is Dermopt which you can buy without prescription if you think they are getting something on their skin.

loriusgarrulus Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 If its all over you can mix coconut oil in their food for a systemic effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
