My puppy has a skin condition. What can I use if I can't afford a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Good day! I am worried sick about what could be the skin condition of my puppy but I can't afford to bring him to a vet so I tried to seek help online, thank God I found you. Do you think ointments can help? Can you suggest me what to buy? Btw, I'm from the Philippines. I hope to hear from you. Thanks!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppy. You can try to submit your question again as pictures did not attach properly. We can give better advice after looking at his condition. In the meantime, you can bathe him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to soothe the skin. I hope this information helps!
