I have a friend whose has two great pyrenes dogs that have a skin infection with multiple open sores. She has taken them to the vet and tried multiple antibiotics. She was told is was a staph infection on there skin. However they the antibiotics are not working. So I suggested she use calendula oil on them. She called me a week later saying that the sores are healing. Its been a month and a half now and she is telling me that the healing process has started regressing and getting worse again. At this point I told her to add marshmallow to his food and maybe a little oregon grape. Externally i suggested a poultice of marshmallow, oregon grape, calendula, and maybe blend up a little raw garlic. This is what i know she has on hand.
My thinking is if its staph that the bugs are still in the skin and that is why its regressing and that maybe the calendula isnt knocking it all out.
Open to any corrections or suggestions for these 2 dogs.
When she told me it was staph I was a little confused because when I think of staph I think of a big red sore with pus in it thats hot. Not a sore that looks like the flesh is deteriorating, just a big open sore.

Hi,
I volunteer for some dog rescues. We get lots of dogs with skin and allergy problems. I have found that colloidal silver, both orally and on the site can help. We typically wash them in Chlorhexadine shampoo, and start them on a probiotic and coconut oil. I am thinking nutritive herbs with inulin might help, and maybe some plantain on their food.
Always interested in hearing about anything that can help pups, so keep us updated.

I’ve treated those sorts of thing internally and topically
Internally I use these:
Topically I use BugBuster
If the wound is in need of help healing the Poultice formula topically would be good too.
See the wound management lessons too.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

I am a brand new student and I have a dog that is also much in need of help with yeast/maybe some staff on skin. Thank you for the recommendations of bug buster and the poultice. My dog (who seems to be allergic to half of the world) has a horrible reaction to the Chlorhexadine shampoo but did very well with a shampoo that included colloidal silver. The colloidal silver keep the yeast and staff at bay, if I bathed him every other day. I can no longer get that shampoo… any thoughts on another skin cleanser/shampoo?

You can get it (Colloidal silver) for internal use, and maybe put it in a spray bottle and use it directly on the skin. Doc Jones says he puts his tinctures in spray bottles. I never thought of that, but will use it in the future.

Thanks Paige. I will definitely give that a try. Spraying will be super easy.
Emrene, I hope your friends dogs get better soon.
