What do you think of this rash?



Ive spoken to my vet when i was in a few weeks ago but didnt have phoebe and he says it sound like a grass allergy.
It started when we moved
house, but we didnt walk on grass at our old house where as now we always go on the canal so she is walking on grass. It pops up after most walks and is usually gone after a few hours. Its also in her toes and armpits - photo is tummy. She does not normally bother with it but has been licking tonight

I feel really mad at my self for this but i really dont have money for vets trip, so hoping to avoid if possible but will go if needed.

Have you tried her on Urtica Urens for nettle rash, you can get it for a couple of pounds at Boots, it is a homeopathic remedy, it will either work or not have any side effects (unless you use it too long when it is not working)

Caneasten can help - Our old vet used to advise it for this type of rash. You use it sparingly but rub it gently into the area. You can buy it over counter in chemist.

I thought Canestan was for fungal infections such as thrush?

I've seen that before with my current dog with his grass allergy. Ask the vet if you can try some Piritons, as if it IS a grass allergy, then it will dampden down the reaction from the immune system so definitely worth a try, as where you live now, you're going to be in constant contact with it, otherwise it'll be the lotions and potions and steroid route with the vets probably. Good luck.
