The following has just appeared on another dog forum:


A message from Puppy to Pro Ltd:

"A word of warning to all. The following was sent to me by email, please pass on.

One of our members in Scotland has just come upon a case of a dog dying, apparently after licking its owner's leg not long after the owner had applied a cream to her leg.

The problem appears to be an ingredient called Calcipotriol which is a vitamin D analogue. It is used in ointments for eczema and psoriasis. This case suggests that it may be fatal to dogs in minute doses - even just one lick.

Until we hear any more, please pass this on as an alert for dog owners who have skin problems to check the ingredients of any cream they use."
