Healthy Paw LifeLime Sulfur Pet Skin Cream (4 oz) - Pet Care for Itchy and Dry Skin - Safe Solution for Dog, Cat, Puppy, Kitten, Horse

Hi I love this product very much, but my recent purchase was opened and used.

Smelly but a great alternative to lime/suffer baths

So I tried it on myself first before putting it on my cat. The smell is just awful. Like sulfur-y lime scented facial clay, with a light whipped lotion texture. I put it on bug bites on my arm, and I think it helped a little. I didn’t touch the bites for a while, at least, since I didn’t want to spread the smell around!My foster cat has been on prednisolone and Benadryl for unidentified (even after a bunch of money spent at the vet) skin issues. She was clawing her hair out in large chunks and had created a very large wound that has taken months to heal. I need to get her figured out to the point that she doesn’t have to take pills anymore, so she can go back to her owner. I’ve gotten her weaned off the prednisolone as of a few days ago and the next step is to remove the Benadryl and see if this magic cream helps enough that all of her skin stays intact. It has seemed to help each time I’ve used it so far. Fingers crossed.

My product arrived with a cracked lid and broken seal. But since it's topical for my dog, I went ahead and gave it a whirl. He is constantly chewing at his feet, which this has helped alleviate some discomfort. However, since it's on his feet, I also have to use the cone of shame to stop him from licking them. The odor is pretty bad but does disappear over time.

BUT! It's a light cream and doesn't seem to penetrate my dog's skin. Yes, it does have a stinky smell - but if that odor keeps her from chewing her legs, I'm okay with it. The smell goes away but if it gets on blankets etc - it lasts a long time. I have a feeling the odor goes away because it's not being absorbed and is only on her skin for a minute before she sits or lies down and it ends up on the carpet or her blanket. It did heal a chew mark quickly - so you take the good with the bad. I think it would be better to use inside a bandage. HOPE THIS HELPS!
