Hibiscrub

Can anyone tell me if Hibiscrub should be diluted when used for treated superificial pyoderma? My Schnauzer is only 13 months old, the vet prescibed a 3 week course of antibiotics and a weekly bath for three weeks. Hibiscub seems a pretty harsh measure when undiluted. Also no cause has been found, he's treated every 6 weeks with frontline. Anyone know?

hibiscrub should always be diluted,roughly 50/50 but its not an exact science.

Again thank you for responding, although l've had dogs for years, Mini Schnauzers and Boxers l've never come across pyoderma, my vet had four other dogs in with it this week.

Just wondering why it has to be diluted for dogs, but not for people?

I think Hevvur might be referring to it's use in hospitals as a soap agent? It was used regularly to wash your hands with some years ago, although I suppose even then you'd use water to wash with?

Yes, I think it is still used, and in veterinary surgeries..but as you say, we dilute it under running water
