I managed it well for years with careful raw/home-made food, but in the last couple of years I had to give in and she is now on 5mg of cortisone a day. In the end, I have had to choose between a longer life of scratching or a shorter life of comfort for her. I do feed rice so after reading the comments here, I might try cutting that out. For her dry skin/coat, I found a supplement called Omega Magic has been great. Not sure if you can get it there or not but surely there is something like it. T.L.

I think the heat, humidity, and vegetation bothered him. My vet said that skin problems are very common in Florida. He advised frequent baths with a mild shampoo and prescribed an antihistamine. Harper was particularly uncomfortable before his death, as nothing seemed to help his skin. How I miss my boy. The skin allergies didn't kill him. He couldn't walk.

Venison and chicken, ground flax seed, chia and barley, rice, oat bran and quinoa. It is a pain, but I love her like my child. Some purists now are feeding their dogs raw meat, but I am afraid to do that. Though eliminating all the stuff they put in dog food should eventually find an answer for you. Did you know they grind up feathers to put in animal feed as fillers. I don't trust any corporations anymore. donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
