My Stella's wrinkles were pretty good, but when they started getting iffy, I would go to town with some  nice cool baby wipes (I put them in the fridge, she liked the coolness).  And then a nice thick coat of diaper ointment (Zincofax).  Don't forget to do under his nose rope too - amazing what they can get in there!

baby wipes for sure...i was also told baby shampoo and water w/ a tad of peroxide

w/gentle cloth...and apart from zincofax...apparently canesten for itch and redness...

my archie had a few probs and infections so his groomer which i would take him

every 2 weeks would thoroughly clean him like that...hope this helps!!!

Kippah used to slither away like a shy snake when she heard the wipe package. But now I get treats in my hand, and the wipes.  I go to the couch and we snuggle and play, and she gets treats and I use the wipes on her face, and her Hoo haw area  (as my daughter says)  and check out her paws, etc.

I am pretty sure she hates the wipes, I have to have them hidden in the palm of my hand when she comes inside after going potty, but she gets them anyway.

We buy 4 packs of wipes at Walmart, and get the unscented, aloe wipes.  much cheaper than buying single boxes, and then we have a package by the front door, one near the couch, one in both vehicles.  I dont bother with the boxes, since the plastic bags they have come with the little hinge lid with pop up wipes, and they dont dry out at all.  The brand we like the best are Huggies.

we used the unscented wipes and occasional zinc cream, but the vet suggested vingegar wipes to help withyeast.  any feedback on that?

We use it and we swear by it....when I say WE I mean everyone in our house.  Apple Cider Vinegar has huge benefits for humans!

For dogs it helps with the yeast---Kippah has no issues.  It helps prevent fleas and ticks.  It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antiseptic. 

Does not upset the friendly bacteria.  In turn that boosts the immune system, prevents common infections, and builds weakened immune systems.

It normalized bloods acid alkaline balance, breakds down calcium deposits in joints, and remineralizes the bones, beneficial for dogs with arthritis and joint problems such as hip dysplasia.

WIth the detoxifying properties it helps the dogs skin and coat, and can be used as a rince after shampoo (diluted of course)

It balances the digestive enzymes with can cut down on GAS as well

You start with a small amount in the water and build up, if you have a one dog home you want 1 tsp per 15 pounds of dog...again you have to work your way up.  Kippah and my other dogs did not notice at all.  We added a TBL per large water bowl (4 cups water or so)  and we fill that a couple times a day.  Now I freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays so I know that the kids are not over or under 'vinegaring'  We wash the stainless steel bowl in hot water, the bowl is hot when we add room temp water, then pop in an ice cube.  By the time it gets down to the floor the cube is disolved and the water is cooled down...if that makes sence.

Hi!  I have an Otis, too. :)

I mostly just lurk around here, but I can actually contribute something to this one, haha.

We have had some horrible issues with Otis's skin and wrinkles since we've had him, and the best thing I've gotten is Douxo Chlorhexidine pads.  They are about $11-$12 for 30 on Amazon, but what I usually do is pull the two layers apart and use half on his face wrinkles and half between his toes and around his tail, probably 4 or 5 days a week..
