I had a spinal injury a few years ago and the surgeon warned me of permanent nerve damage causing incontinence being a potential consequence if it got worse. It's called "cauda equina syndrome", I did a quick search and it looks like it occurs in dogs too. Essentially you lose all nerve feeling on your bowel, hence not knowing when you need to go. I'm not sure what the solution is (if any) but it could be a clue.

EL D laid in something in the garden that just made him very filthy (I suppose just the dirt if he rolled around) and so I had to give him a bath. The local pet shop had this stuff called BioGroom Natural Scents shampoo that was not soap and supposed to work without removing the tea/flick med nor mess with the natural slin oils. It cleaned him up pretty good and since I didn't have much choice at the store…
But I'm just wondering what kinds of shampoo others would recommend? -
hmm, i wondering that myself - what shampoo do i use? I used Aloeveen for Chilli (cos we used it for our jrt - Saki) She has no problems with it. But Chilli scratches alot and think its drying her coat? any ideas??

Charlie had VERY sensetive skin as a puppy and would get dry flaky skin if I wasn't careful, I use Cain & Able Pepermint and Tea Tree conditioning Shampoo on them both. I love that it has good natural oils in it and is a mild bug repelent.
