starboyhull Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi guys, Just thought I would pass on the details of this company I found. After many many months of our Shar pei having a really bad skin condition, after numerous trips to the vet, injections, vitamins change of diet etc etc he still got no better and in fact kept getting worse and worse, he looked moth eaten and was constantly licking and scratching....... I found this company...... The company is called Camrosa, they are based in East Sussex their website is http://www.camrosa.co.uk/ We purchased the starter pack which contains shampoo and ointment plus oinment remover.......We got it on the 12th september and have had to use it constantly since then until about the end of the week........His skin has now almost recovered and his fur has started to grow back.....No more itching, licking biting etc, its a great product.......Just one problem though, its very messy....... Anyway I would recommend it to anyone with a pet with a skin condition etc, plus it can also be used on the chickens...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm glad your Shar Pei is getting better. They are my favourite type of dog and I really hope to have one of my own one day. Thanks for telling us about this company. Sometimes Jasdog worries at his paw and gets a really sore open wound. Next time he does it, I'll give this a go.

starboyhull Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 The ointment lasts for upto 3 years too, although at the moment we had had to order more of the stuff as his skin was so bad.......He did have a couple of quite deep wounds, which did bleed, used the ointment and you couldnt even see where they had been 2 days later....... If you do order some make sure you get the remover too, or you will never get the stuff off Shar pei's are so lovely, they pur like cats its very funny to listen to him.....I think we have just been quite unlucky with him, hopefully though this stuff will sort his skin out once and for all....... Anyway enough of me going on and on about it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I assume the ointment is for open wounds caused by the scratching? - would the shampoo alone help to stop mild itching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Does it have a list of ingredients at all there may be a cheaper alternative in fact I think I am probably using it at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 I know the shampoo is used at a rescue centre, so I would assume that it helps generally with skin conditions.....Give them a call and ask they are helpful on the phone..... Ill get a list of the ingredients later for you all when I get home later....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 That sounds great Karl - you might want to PM Emma (The Herd) as one of her EBTs has a skin problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenlass Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have used this product on my horse... I can remember it was very sticky to apply but did do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Does anybody know of a homeopathic remedy for Psoriasis I use Forever Living's Aloe and propolis cream Lousie and it works a treat. Both Psoriasis and eczema are often linked to stress though (as well as topical stuff) and that certainly exacerbates mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I am certainly stressed at the moment Might give that a go clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I use Aloe gel underneath too, either from my own plant, or a tube from Forever Living. Certainly stops the itching and soothes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
