I took Garett to the vet this morning. Nothing wrong internally, just his darn skin problem. I had taken him about six weeks ago for his skin (balding spot, itchy, hot to touch) and it went away but came back this week. They gave him a shot of antibiotics, cortisone and meds for the next two weeks, also a special shampoo (OMG $28 for 8 ounces, good thing I have no one to explain to for the money I spend on my boys). The Vet said that he felt the diarhea was due to the skin infection, they took a stool sample, no blood (really need to get new glasses). The funny thing, is my vet does not work on Saturday and her new young vet is named Dr. Aspirin, I swear it, I about cracked up. Anyhow, back to the vet next week. You know I started to think about when Gar developed skin problems and he never had them until about 3 months ago, and that was just about the time I won all that doggie stuff in a rescue raffle and one of the things I won was a large bag of Pro Plan dry food. I am not saying that is what caused the problem, but we went to Petsmart after the vet, and we are going back on Eukanaba, we never had any skin problems when we were on the lamb and rice mixed with the Natural Balance lamb and rice roll. It cannot hurt to put them back on it and see what happens. Thanks for all your support, appreciate it.
