 Allergies to Specialized Dog Food
My Yorkie is eight years old. Because he previously had a large bladder stone three years ago and resulting surgery for removal, he has been prescribed food that discourages calcium oxalate bladder stones. He ate Hills UD (urinary diet) in the can without any problems; however, because last year he developed another stone that was growing, the vet changed him to Royal Canin SO dried food in an attempt to slow the growth.
Since GE started that food, he has had seven recurring staff infections in his ear, and a difficult hot spot that has been hard to heal. I have read that recurring staff infections of the ear can be caused by food allergy (or allergy in general). Has anyone else experienced antibiotic resistant recurring staff infections of the ear in their Yorkie? Any food allergies to Canin SO urinary diet? |
