Guest BooBooMama Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Houdini had bald, rough elbows. Can anyone suggest a good salve or cream I can use that I don't have to be worried about if she licks it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cheltzey Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Lando's got those callused elbows, and the vet said to just leave them and they would soften over time. I'm interested to hear what people post, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhead Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bag Balm or udder cream Works amazingly on their pads anyway, for us. Haven't tried it anywhere else. We apply generously and rub in well, while they're resting and relaxed.

We apply generously and rub in well, while they're resting and relaxed. I wholeheartedly endorse this safe, effective, and cheap product. When I was on chemo, I developed painfully chapped and sore hands, feet, elbows, and an oncology nurse recommended this product to me. Seventeen years later, I still use it on myself and on my pets.

krissn333 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bag Balm all the way. It won't hurt them if they lick it - Pinky somehow stole the whole green tin once and ate the bag balm Most dogs don't really enjoy the taste of it...but, well, she's weird Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

Guest BooBooMama Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't think Walgreens carries it. You want the green can. I know WalMart does I have a Super Walgreens (one of those monster-sized stores that is open 24 7.) They had it! Well the overwhelming consensus was for Bag Balm so I bought some and I already rubbed some into her skin. She is not in the least bit interested in it so no licking. And luckily she does not seem 'bothered' by it either. We shall see......... Many thanks! Anything with a good portion of hemp seed oil will be good for skin. I use this. Walgreens is the closest to me and they did not have anything with hemp oil. I have used hemp hand lotion for myself and must agree- nothing else works on my dry chapped hands and feet!

FiveRoooooers Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We love Bag Balm. Our local big chain grocery stores usually carry it, as do CVS and health food stores, if a livestock store isn't nearby.
