Was the solution a prescription GB? Do you have any idea what it actually is/was? He's gonna be pretty much a full time outdoor pooch from this point forward. I never even thought of or considered a sulfur based treatment...

I don't think it was prescription but I did get it directly from the vet. The label does say "Federal law restricts this drug to be used by or on order of a licensed veterinarian" but pretty sure it can be bought OTC.

Instructions say to give the animal a shampoo with your regular doggie shampoo, then rinse well , then mix 4oz of the concentrate in 1 gal of water and work the mixture into the dog's coat well and allow it to dry on the dog...don't dry it with a towel. Also says it may stain light colored dog's hair a yellow tinge..temporarily. (my dog was black)

It's this product:

I bought it in the 16oz bottle.
I originally thought mine had what we used to call 'hot spots' but the vet said it was not. You might want to ask your own vet before using this product.

(it smells all to be danged..I can tell you that and you definitely want to wear disposable rubber gloves when bathing a dog in it, and get the heck away as soon as you are done so he don't shake it all over you..you'll stink for a week.)

Mine had the same thing. The vet said that it was like microscopic mites and a good way to tell if that was the problem was to take the inside of the dogs eat and scratch it a bit. If the dog acted like you got an itchy spot then that's now than likely what the problem was. They have her a bath in that stuff a few times. My dog is white but after those baths it was a yellow dog and smelled of sulphur but no more baldness.

Look in horse grooming area -- Shapleys MTG -- it's a sulfer based Ointment. Yep smells but works. I've used it on horses for years...and many other animals. LOL

We seesaw between $2.57 and 2.69 most places, for regular gas. Diesel is constantly creeping up....gonna make Haying season that much more expensive.....up to $3.05 to 3.35 here.

It's pretty similar here, I filled up this afternoon for $2.59. Diesel price is just silly but I don't use as much as I used to.

We have $2.53/gal here, but haven't checked the fuel prices lately....I did pump some non-ethanol for $2.95/gal just the other day......sure glad that I'm not burning the fuel these days...I got out at $2.50/gal cause I was going broke....
