My Boston Terrier puppy has an itchy rash. How can I soothe her skin?

Question

Please help my Boston Terrier puppy’s itch. She started getting this rash after finishing her shots on 4/28, along with a small lump near her shoulder where they injected her. I bath her with very mild, natural shampoo. She’s on a combo of organic raw food and kibble with very high quality ingredients. I would like to avoid going to vet and getting Rx, so a few days ago I got her allergy immune treats to see if that will help. Not sure how long it takes to make a difference though. Thanks!

Hello. I do not think the vaccinations caused any problems, it just looks like she has some allergy issues. Unfortunately, it looks like you have a bit of a staph infection on her abdomen & groin region, & just some sensitivities on her chest. Let's try treating her with a good antibacterial shampoo. I like KetoChlor shampoo that you can find on Amazon, Chewy & other sites. Keep the shampoo on for 10 minutes before rinsing & bather her twice a week for the next 3-6 weeks. I would also start her on a good omega 3 fatty acid like Nordic Naturals for dogs. Give this a go for a few weeks & see how it helps her skin. Good luck & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
