Ivan is now a little over 7 months old and he has always been somewhat of a scratcher. He has never had fleas, has always been on oral flea & heartworm prevention. Right now his underside, the whole area of his crotch that is hairless is pretty red and irritated. I put some topical antibiotic ointment on it to see if that helps. Any home remedies or natural preventatives anyone uses? I have heard some things about coconut oil or olive oil. Any suggestions?
