Hi Nina. I'm Bev and I'd like to tell you about my Abby.
I bought Abby, a gorgeous, spunky little redheaded bully from a woman who told me that her daughter was allergic to her. She was 12 weeks old. The first night with Abby was a mess. She stunk to high Heaven!! She peed all over...
Be very VERY careful about giving them any vitamins or medication made for children. More often than not they contain xylitol which is deadly for dogs. Just a few grams will kill an adult dog, a few mg can cause permanent liver damage
You love him and only want the best for him. Because you love him, nothing you could ever do can be considered "wrong" :)
Ester-C is a good thing but I wouldn't give him vitamin D. Some vitamins are what they call water soluble meaning that what the body doesn't need are excreted through...
Hot spots are almost always due to an allergic reaction, usually triggered by something in the diet. Boosting his immune system is never a bad thing but caltrate will do nothing to help in that respect. Who told you to add this? Was it after reading blood test results? Is there a calcium...

We talked about olive oil but I will say it here too. Olive oil has a very strong odor and taste that might turn him off to the food you are putting it in...
I wouldnt do olive oil just because of the strong taste it has, but if you want to try it you can safely give him 1 tsp per 15 pounds of body weight. Coconut oil is the best. You can give it internally and externally. I'm trying to find the post that I was tagged in. There are a few other...
Food allergies usually show as itching in the ears or butt area and red around the eyes. If he is itchy just on his stomach I'm thinking its something he is laying on that is irritating his skin. Have you changed the detergent in the house? How does he respond to antihistamines?
