Q: possibly the best subject ever for a question.

My sister shaved our dog today as he's a labradoodle and has a fairly thick coat, that was just getting unbearable for him in the heat. However, my sister being the person that she is, didn't read any of the instructions, and did it while no one was home. Now my poor puppy is stuck with a bad case of razor burn. He's been scratching at it, and I was wondering if there was anything I could use to help soothe his skin. I've looked at the pet store and most of the skin care seems centred around fleas, so is there anything I can make at home, or a people lotion that is gentle enough to use on him?
This might sound a bit strange, but it'll work. Give him an oatmeal bath. Just add a couple handfuls of dry oatmeal to warm bath water.

P.S. This also works for poison ivy.

It makes sense, hopefully he doesn't try to eat it though :P
