A few months ago I took in a darling DEW girl as a rescue who was almost
completely bald and covered with scratches from itching. My vet prescribed
baby oil and water - 4 tablespoons baby oil in a quart spray bottle. I just
shook the bottle really well and sprayed her all over every other day. She
quit scratching and her hair started to grow back almost right away. When
she went to her new home she looked great!
I hope this helps.
