| Puppy thinks Fidget has maybe Impetigo but im not sure Hi, I have a 4 month old yorkie poo the last 3 weeks he has been biting his front paws lots and scratching his head/ears/ belly lots. He has a slight rash on his belly and is dry with a few red blotchy spots. His paws and everywhere else are not red. He has been checked by the vets twice and he hasnt got fleas. I treat him reguarly for fleas and worms. The vet gave him some anti-biotic tablets that I have got to give him for a week as well as shampoo that I have been washing him in twice a week. The vet thinks it may be impetigo but im not sure. Has anyone else had anything similar with their puppy? im hoping this isnt a long term problem as the vet said he may have to have blood tests and steriods etc which I really hope he doesnt have to have. |

| What are you feeding him? Peanut had the same symptoms. He would get hot spots, red splotches, red ears, licking paws, chewed all his leg hair off and etc. I had to give him a Benadryl as well as cortisone cream daily. We went through so many foods and the only thing that fixed him was switching to Canine Caviar. I know it sounds crazy.. how can a kibble fix those symptoms, but it’s true. It took about 2 months for us to stop all medicines. In our worst allergy months he has no signs. I would highly recommend Canine Caviar to any dog that has food allergies. One of the medicines that really helped Peanut was the Neo Poly Dex. I would put this on his hot spots and red splotches and it would really help clear it up. Neo-Poly-Dex Ophthalmic

| Yeah, I read that peas are not good, esp if there's a lot in the food. Like peas, pea protein, pea fiber, etc. Too much peas causes digestive upset, gives my guys gas! They did very well on the Wilderness (venison & peas). I think as long as it's whole peas & no ingredient splitting going on in the food, it's ok. Moderation is key. I wish Buffalo would come out already!

Yup, waiting, waiting, waiting...loll. Teresa told me awhile back that they were delayed in producing Buffalo bc people were eating it (Buffalo Burgers) & it was so popular bc of the lean low fat meat!

| Yeah my dog was having some itching problems and we recently switched to ziwipeak, no itching today Oh and you might want to try cleaning your dogs paws and tummy after walks or outside time because some dogs can have grass allergies...

| Potatoes and corn are actually starches, even though they're vegetables. Allie is allergic to grains and will chew at her paws if she eats anything with grain in it.
