Chafing

Hi all;

Boris is about two years old we live in DC and this summer have noticed a little chafing under his front underarms. the first time we noticed we called the vet and they said to apply a little neosporeun to it, which seemed to help. We recently left him with our friends for the weekend and noticed that it has come back a little worse. To make a long story short is there anyone else who has noticed chafing or experienced this with their corgi before? what did they use as treatment?

P.S. We're in DC, too!

Comment by Anna Morelli on July 14, 2014 at 11:49am: Not sure what you mean by chafing.... I usually associate the word with something rubbing against the skin and causing irritation ( like a harness ). If nothing is rubbing, I've had dogs with seasonal allergies, in which case a doggy T-shirt may help by protecting that area. That underarm has no fur protection to speak of and Corgis are low to the ground. Could he be getting irritated by anything he is coming in contact with? You may have to do a little detective work ... Best wishes.
