I had switched him over to it within the first wee he was home, he was still scratching so I didnt think that it could of been that food. Anyways I havent given him anymore and he is sooo much better. No more scratching, the smell in his ears is gone and he doesnt have that wierd smell to his body anymore. Puppy chow and chicken soup must have a common food because he was itching at the breeders too..chicken maybe?? |
Could be chicken, but it could be lots of things. Perhaps you could post ingredients of both foods so we could take a looksie for you.
The smell concerns me a bit. I know it's "gone", but it makes me concerned about yeast, which is usually internal as well. If this were me and there was a body smell - I'd get him on a probiotic asap. If it's not systemic, you really don't want it to head that way if he's still vulnerable. Since he came to you with the itching, he could have gotten the yeast from his Mom.
