My dog is scratching. Can I bathe her? What shampoo soothes skin?

Question

Coco is scratching, can I give her a bath and what type of dog shampoo can I use. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | 1 month and 7 days old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

You can give Coco an oatmeal bath to help soothe her skin. Take a cup of oatmeal, and put it in the blender to make a fine powder. Then add it to a warm bath. That should help temporarily. Have her seen by a vet in the morning to diagnose and treat the cause of the itching.
