Akari:
I can’t comment on the Bayer products, I have never used them. I forgot about a third product I use for skin conditions, povidone/iodine scrub. Don’t get me wrong, I have my fair share of avocado, coconut oil, goats’ milk, vanilla, and the list goes on, of shampoos and conditioners for my dog and horses. But, when I need to take care of a skin conditions I use either EQyss Micro Tech, Novalsan, or a povidone/iodine scrub and follow-up with Vetericyn or Banixx.
I looked for Nolvalsan shampoo and all the sites I found each said it was back ordered; who knows maybe they don’t make it anymore. The average price of Malaseb shampoo on the Internet is around $15.00, not bad for a antibacterial/antimicrobial shampoo.
A povidone/iodine solution (not the scrub) may be helpful for Bentley. I use the solution for various treatments with my horses, I haven’t used it on Bobby. You can usually find this in drug stores. Here’s a link about using it:

The new feeding regimen sounds good; hope you can sell your mom on the idea. It really sounds like Bentley needs Veterinary care to determine the cause of his skin condition. Fingers crossed you can bother your mom to make that appointment! 🙂
