I have had her on grainfree food, very expensive for two months now. Also the herbal drops and shampoo at a $ figure that I have never spent in my life for our hair. This has been two months, do you think that it should take a longer period of time and what experience have you had in this area.
I have seen many smelly skin infection dogs and i know that you cannot expect them to be cured in such a small amount of time, especially since you don't even know what's wrong with her.
Food allergy trials are done over MONTHS not days or weeks. You have to pick a good food and stick with it for at least 3 months to ensure the results you are getting are from the food you are currently feeding and not crap that is left in her system from previous foods. To ensure you get correct results with a food trial you need to be giving her that specific food ONLY. no treats, no people food, no other dog food, basically nothing goes in her mouth but that food unless its a medication that the vet told you to give.
Medicated baths, antibiotics, ear meds, etc.... all take time to work. You are jumping all over the place with things to try to get rid of the smell but you are not seriously treating the problem.
I'm not surprised nothing you have done has worked yet. You aren't giving it a chance. You have to do one thing at a time so you can determine what is causing the problem and what fixes it. Giving a bunch of treatments at the same time or one right after the other will not help.
Take the poor dog to a dermatologist asap and follow their directions to a T.[/QUOTE] |
