I bought the pet stuff at PetsMart, don't recall if I ever saw it at
the feed store. The Pepto-Bismol-pink stuff for horses, which I had
left over from same and used before they made the pet stuff, I bought
at a feed store. IIRC, the pet stuff is white or maybe clear.
Obviously the pink stuff was less desireable than the white, but it
wasn't that bad to apply. None of my Siberians cared for water, and I
never tried to wash the stuff off Boomer's ears, I just didn't put so
much on that it needed to be washed off.

She was a phenomenal dog. It's funny how a house can be full of dogs
but still feel empty due to the absence of one particular dog. I
heard a hound start to roo tonight and for a second thought it was
her.

On the subject of Mukluk, we apparently will have no Siberian
coat-blowing last year. We had to shave him down because of a
persistent staph infection, and although he looks beautiful and fluffy
and feels nice and soft, and was plenty warm for the winter, he
doesn't really have an undercoat. It's odd, like a genetically
re-engineered husky or something.

Hmmmmm.

Yes indeed. If you have to do it because of a medical condition...

SWAT. And it comes in a clear formula now, too.

Farnam makes a goop that you can apply to areas such as ear tips on
dogs. It's called Flysaway and is similar to the product they make
for the same use on horses. We used it with success on a Siberian
Husky that came to us with flybitten ears.

The flies are always bothering Khan's pointy-uppy ears on our hikes, but
leave Pan's floppy ears alone. I've been using Avon Skin So Soft or a
home
made potion of rosemary/lemon. Both are reasonably effective, but don't
last day hikes.

Where do you find Flysaway? Feedstore? And, is the 'goop' messy to

I found Farnam Flys-Off Lotion (spray bottle) and Farnam Flys-Off Ointment
(a thick white cream in a small tub) at the local Petco.

The spray bottle lotion is not to be used on existing sores, but the
ointment
can be, according to the two product labels.

Thanks for your reply. By "fly spray" do you mean a fly repellant
spray, or an insecticide approved for contact with dog skin ?

I used horse fly spray
