We had lots of yeast symptoms, gross ears, runny eyes,anal gland impaction, oily greasy stinky skin, hot spots etc. Our vet is really easy going and while suggesting allergy testing- he knew I wasn't crazy about the cost and travel for something that was not going to be conclusive, and had no complaints about me putting her on a stripped down diet for a while, she was otherwise "healthy".Once he saw the difference he said there seemed to be no harm in continuing. I tried Canadae dry food and was really pleased with the results but not the reviews (recalls) than found Taste of the wild- she ate it for over 2 yrs except for recall- now we switched to Earthborn Holistics - all foods were fish protein only- no chicken, no grain- pork and corn sets her off quickly. I still sprinkle probiotics on her food, feed lots of green beans. She is nice and thin and looks younger than 12.(except almost blind) |
