Jelly's problems....FEET, constant licking to the point of bleeding sometimes....skin, flaky (like danruff) and serious shedding and sometimes smells bad.
I tried several foods, finally settled on a grain free, salmon and sweet potato food and this still wasn't helping. The Vet said he didn't think it was the food and switched her to a less expensive Purina One smart choice lamb and rice. She likes that better and eats as soon as its in the bowl. I also give her a couple tablespoons of yogurt every day. NO treats and NO table food. She takes two benedryl in the AM and two in the PM. She goes to the groomer once a week for a bath with Pyoben benzoyl peroxide shampoo, as the vet suggested. She is 8 years old.
The vet is suggesting we do a blood test to check her thyroid, he claims an under active thyroid can cause the problems she's having. Anyone ever hear of this?
