Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Poor Olive, the skin looks uncomfortable! If what you are using right now is not helping, I would consider switching to something different. I am unsure if the below products will be available in India but you can probably find something comparable, especially if you contact a veterinarian in your area to see what products are available that are similar. 1. Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the skin twice daily until resolved 3. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!
