I was brushing Aramis when I found some yellow leaf looking thing. i thought it was some kind of tree leaf as he always get some in his coat when going outside.
I removed it, it was somewhat hard and it bled a little.He didn’t cry or anything. I did some research and it appears to be a nail. Sometimes it grows on tail. It is a benign, rare tumors that arise from hair follicles. I check daily to see if everything is fine. He is eating and drinking normally. I didn’t notice any change on him
After trying many different shampoos and conditioners to fit D’Artagnan’s type of coat ( very dry, medium length, with volume), I found a deeply moisturizing product.
Iv San Bernard black passion is the choice. It fits all coat types. After the first use his coat was shining and deeply moisturized .
STEP 1 : quickly wet the coat, and apply black passion mask. Add 9 drops of argan oil to the mask first, mix then add warm water (1:3)). Cover the coat with a towel and leave it on for 10 minutes.
Rinse the mask until the water runs clear.
STEP 2 : mix the black passion shampoo with water (1:3) and wash the coat without going against the direction of hair growth.this is very important so you don’t end up with tangled hair.
Rinse once again until the water runs clear.
STEP 3 : mix 9 drops of argan oil, the black passion mask and the pek conditionner ( mask and conditioner mix 1:3 with warm water)
I apply the mixture to the coat and leave it on for 5 minutes
Rinse until the water runs clear.
Wrap the dog in a big towel and pat him, do not rub the coat otherwise you will get tangles.
Dry the dog, with a warm ( not hot ) dryer, brushing in the way the hair grows, do not go against direction of hair growth .( I use the B-Air Dryers Bear Power 2 High Velocity Dryer )
WEEK 1
His coat is very well moisturized after 1 treatment, I will continue this treatment weekly.
he had some dry skin scabs on his belly. They are going away slowly.
Week 2
Week 3
My 2 pups were licking their paws quite often. I checked them and there was nothing that I could see .
During a check up to the vet I asked if anything was on the skin. After examination all paws were fine and normal.He said it could be allergies to the floor cleaner product since it contains chemicals.
I decided to switch from my regular cleaner to white vinegar mixed with warm water.(1:3)
It’s been 6 months and both of the pekes aren’t licking their paws anymore.
For their comfort and health I will keep using the vinegar mix.
