rash and pool chlorine

• rash and pool chlorine Rebecca Beeson Posted : 6/10/2006 1:54:15 PM Does anyone have any knowledge of chorine and skin issues? My mixed breed has developed an itchy rash under his neck-the only new activity has been drinking and sticking his feet in the pool--he does not swim in the pool. Thanks for any info. buck's mom LIKE 2 REPLIES 852 VIEWS LAST POST OLINDA Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 6/10/2006 2:06:19 PM I would think it was more about an allergy to pollen or somthing instead of the chlorine.  You choline levels should not be high enough to really effect it, but I know some dogs are ultra sensitive to things.  Maybe you can just hose him off after he gets out and I wouldnt let him drink it because thats not a good thing anyway with the chemicals.  Welcome! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

He loves to swim! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
