Hi Michele. You can use 4% chlorhexidine to treat small areas undiluted but you will need some water to make it lather. I usually recommend a 1:10 dilution. If you use it on larger areas it will cause excessive skin drying. For these dogs, you can buy a commercial 3% chlorhexidine shampoo (called Pyohex in Australia)
My dog has Pyoderma. Can I use 4% Chlorhexidine scrub as a shampoo without diluting it? Thank you
