I rinsed my pomeranian forever and could not get the tiny dots of soft gooey oatmeal out of her fur. I followed the recipe posted above; 1 Cup oatmeal (not instant) 1 Cup baking soda & 1 Cup warm water, blended it to a fine powder, wet her coat thoroughly. I then applied it, working it into her fur like a shampoo.I think Deb's post makes more sense. Any ideas for me to get the oatmeal out of her fur without exacerbating her dry skin problem? HELP!

You will have great results bathing the dog in lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes with one cup of oatmeal that has been ground to a fine powder & added to the lukewarm bath water. ( DO NOT USE INSTANT OATMEAL ) When the bath is over, and the dog has shaken off the excess water, be sure to only pat it dry with a clean, soft towel or two. DO NOT RUB!! If the dog has had fleas & has been given a flea bath at the Veterinarian's clinic, do not give oatmeal bath until 7 days past the flea bath. One of those cone shaped Elizabethan collars is recommended if the dog needs to chew on the irritating skin while it is healing. Dogs dislike these collars, but they work wonders at keeping the dog from constantly chewing their own flesh which slows down the healing. They can be trimmed to fit if the collar is too large. The collodial oatmeal bath may be given up to 3 times a week for relief of itchy skin and the dog will get much soothing relief from these 10 minute gentle soaks & remember to only gently pat dog dry afterward. Best of luck! Collodial oatmeal is an excellent remedy for a dog’s itchy skin that may be as a result of flea infestation or hot spots or some type of skin allergy.
