Hi All,
Haven't posted in a while. Had surgery and am now ready to get back to the land of the living! Satchel is now 15 months and still the apple of my eye. Here is my concern. Ever since he was a puppy he has been an itchey guy.(that and his boy behavior were the majority of my posts)He has the dirty sock smell but vet says no staph. He is medicated with frontline religiously. I think it may be time to change his food, or at least a place to start. I know there are many opinions but I was hoping for a few suggestions as to where to start. (vet is a science diet advocate...other than that he's pretty good) He eats the lamb and rice based kibble (no corn) from Costco that the breeder wanted me to keep him on with 2TBS missing link. I just feel so bad for him, his ears are red and he's starting to knosh on himself. I really wanted to avoid the prednisone trap. I would be so appreciative of any suggestions. Help!
Thanks,
Juli & Satchel in Sunny San Diego
