Next week we are getting a new foster with some pretty severe issues. He has a weakened immune system and mange.
We've never dealt with either so I'm looking for some advise.
I've done some reading so I know a good diet will have a huge impact on his immune system, which will help him battle the mange.
We have struggled to find Pan (our bully) a food that won't turn him pink and have turned to Canidae- Grain Free and a spoonful of greek yogurt, which is working well. Is this a good food to stick with for our new baby to help with his immune system? I think it's a five star food. We also do frozen beans, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, frozen Brussels sprouts, cantelope, pineapple, and homemade pumpkin dog biscuits as treats.
Someone posted an article by Dr. Larry Siegler which mentioned feeding greens, multi vitamins, and probiotics. Any suggestions on these (and where would you suggest finding them)?
I saw that I should expect to give him medicated baths three times a week, rubbing a topical ointment on every three days, and should get an antibiotic from the vet.
Am I missing anything? This poor baby is in really bad shape and I want to get him fixed up and feeling better as soon as possible. I figure I have a week to get ready...
