Molly got a skin bacterial infection from an allergic reaction. We did the shampoos ever 3 days and the allergy medicine, and the antibiotics. After 3 weeks she got better, but did not heal 100% and still itched if we did not give her an allergy pill. Note that she NEVER had
allergies in her life. Something triggered this. Stress is the most likely cause, because we introduced another older female to our home when Molly had 6 week old puppies. We were confused as to what exactly she ate, or maybe since we had more rain...but most likely stress related.
Anyway to make a long story short- we changed her food from Iams (ewwww, i know right?) to Avoderm. She had been on Iams all her life, and we did not realize that it was the cause of some of her minor problems, such as tear stains, yeast infections, and smell of her coat. Within 1 day she stopped itching. Within 2 days she was off the meds. Within a week she looked like an entirely different dog!!! (And she smells pretty awesome too, even without bathing for weeks!)
So my question would be, what do you feed Spike? I am sure you have probably told me before on facebook, but I forgot...
