Which firstmate food do you feed?

Just wanted to give an update on Rico. He has been eating raw for about 2 months now. He has tried turkey and I have recently tried duck with no issues. He is eating a 80/10/10 mix meat, bone, organ. I was wondering if I need to add anything to that to make it complete. I hear so many different...

Yes I did do a transition or else he would vomit.

So I have split his meals into 3 portions and give him one before bed but it hasn’t changed. He is up every night licking, swallowing and drooling. This morning it was so bad he was shivering while drooling. This only happens to him while eating raw. In the past when we tried raw he would...

So I used the Nustock on his wrinkles, I applied it three times every 3 days, I have attached a pic of what it looks like now. He was also finishing a dose of ketoconazole at the time as well, so I’m not sure which one helped. It looks so much better all the hair inside the wrinkles have grown...

Do you mind me asking what you cook for him?

The vet had given him Revolution in case of mites back in March when the same thing was going on but it didn’t have any effect. Does Revolution not cover demodectic mange?

It’s only on his face, the rest of his body is fine. They did scrapes of the skin and cultures and found mixed bacteria and yeast

He hasn’t seen a dermatologist and hasn’t had immunotherapy. Do you cook for him?

Thanks. It’s been really difficult, I appreciate you sharing your experience. We had the blood allergy test done at the vet, and I also did the hair and saliva allergy tests but when I changed his diet to go along with the results there was no difference. The vet did say that they weren’t that...

I got it and applied it, kinda looks like yellow chalk in there, I hope it helps. Thanks

How often do you apply it for infected wrinkles?

Sorry, I just wanted to ask is it safe to put the nustock so close to his eyes. The crust and infection has taken over his face, wrinkles, muzzle and around eyes. It looks horrible and I feel bad for him.

I don’t mind sticking with the raw, I think it would be best for him considering his yeast issues and I just haven’t had luck with kibble. I will definitely look for the Nustock. Thank you.
