Would allergies cause her immune system to become weak?? About 2 weeks ago she started chewing her paws n getting very yeasty n I know from here that's food allergies 101, so out went the kibbles n bits n we started feeding her blue buffalo white fish n brown rice!!! I clean her nose rope every night well Wednesday night we had a family emergency n I forgot to well Thursday morning her nose rope was beat red and caked with yeast that's under control but this spot has got me wanting to cry now my poor baby I'm supposed to take care of her not make her worse!!!!

yes, allergies are one of the reasons an immune system will weaken. Even though BB is a good food... she could be allergic to an main ingredient in the food... example, my girl is allergic to chicken, and sensitive to salmon, but my boy was allergic to all RICE... which is usually the top of the list for ingredients. think about a grain free food.

You can also talk to your vet about a full blood screen allergy test which will give you a list of her sensitivities... if you plan to do so, make sure Porky has not been on steroids for at least 30 days before taking the blood for the test. if steroids are in her system you will get false results because the steroids cover the issue not correct it.

good luck and keep us posted after the vet appointment

We are going to probably get her taste of the wild grain free salmon I think was the flavor and then give her different things like chicken n beef n see if she starts the paw biting again so far she's doing great idk if its the steroids or if whatever she was allergic to we already got out of her diet but she's got 10 times the energy now lol we were playing fetch for over an hour usually after 5 min she crashes!!!! Her sore is healing beautifully n she does her gremlin when I clean it again

it is the steroids... both Nitschke and Banks would bounce off the walls from them... could not tell you the last time I allowed them to be prescribed, the energy level was like they were on speed.

Oh, and they also cover the issue ... it may not be that you removed the right items yet, just that the drug is doing it's job. I hope I am wrong, but watch her closely after the drug is out of her system for about 3 to 4 weeks

when she gets to wound up she goes for quiet time in her room so about every 3 hours it seems like I'm putting her in there !! She seemed to only really chew her paws at night n she sleeps on my legs so that ill deffinately notice if she starts it again. Thank u so much for your advice uve helped me a lotttttt

Question for you my dear her sore was healing beautifully until it snowed n now I've had to drain it the last 3 nights bcuz it got all swollen n filled with puss I assume its bcuz it got wet b4 it was completely healed n even though I would clean it n dry it with witch hazel I wasn't draining it do u have any suggestions on how to clean it so we don't have to do another round of steroids?? It hasn't spread at all n the sore itself doesn't appear to have gotten any bigger just yucky and pussy

May I suggest NOT giving her anything but TOTW Salmon for at least 1-2 months.

That way if she reacts you know WHAT it is...a lot of bullies are allergic to chicken
(or any poultry). No other treats during this 2 months, either.

Strengthen her immune system w/a good prebiotic & probiotic, you can get capsules
or use natural sources sprinkled over her food or added to her water, use filtered or
​distilled water for her to drink. GOD bless!
