Nat Mur 200C also seemed to help somewhat, temporarily, but not profoundly. It reduced her odour and lessened her scratching, but she continued to produce copious amounts of crusty, flaky skin. It may have improved her timidity for a brief period, but these effects were only partial improvements that lasted 3 or 4 days at most. I'm really feeling beaten at this point. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Her condition has spread to almost her whole body and she has almost no hair left. I was thinking of trying Petroleum, but maybe that's more for chapped skin and cracking and bleeding.
From Materia Medica on Petroleum:
-> Thick, greenish crusts, burning and itching; redness, raw; cracks bleed easily
-> skin; out-breaks on skin; excoriated (as if grazed, chaffed);
-> Diminished hearing.
She does have thick greenish or perhaps more yellowish crusts that itch and end up red and raw after she scratches - that part is perfect. She doesn't have chapped skin that cracks open - it bleeds from the sheer quantity of scratching. The affected areas tend to feel moist - a clear, almost sticky fluid.
When she scratches the skin, at the edge of the hair line, the skin is very thick and crumbly and white and the hair comes out in great quantities, caught up in the dead skin. Where the skin has long been bare, there are large yellow flakes of skin that peel off easily and look a bit like fish flakes (what you feed to aquarium fish).
I was also thinking Mezereum. Any suggestions?

Please go with Petroleum.

I had no luck with Petroleum, so I also tried Ledum. That didn't do anything either, although my Ledum was a vial of globules with an expiry of 2007. How important is the expiry on globules? I've always taken good care of them. It makes me wonder if some of the remedies I tried in the past might have been too old.
Thanks

Hi,
These remedies do not have expiry,only their lid should be tight,and should be kept in cool and dry space.Many a times even when the lid is tight it gets cracked along top of periphery,in such case also remedies loose healing power.

I haven't tried anything since Ledum last March. Our dog is so emaciated, hairless and flaky and sometimes she just whimpers from the constant itching - I feel so bad for her. I sometimes wonder if I should return to some of the earlier remedies like Graphites in case they didn't work because of something in her diet perhaps stopping the homeopathic effect.
I once had plantar warts for which I took Lycopodium 30C and it did nothing. Then I read about taking Antimonium Crudum followed by a constitutional remedy, which in my case might still be Lycopodium and it worked perfectly. The Ant Crud didn't seem to be doing anything on it's own, nor the Lycopodium, but when I followed one with the other, the result was spectacular. Could this method be what I'm missing for our dog?
