Ok, so we are on our N'zymes and it is starting to come out... I am so nervous. I know that it gets worse before it gets better. But his hair is coming out on his legs. Around his eyes. On his paws. He is licking his legs raw.
We were just on vacation and we had the dogs go to seperate dog sitters. The dog sitter that had my baby boo was so worried about him he took him to a vet and a groomer (didn't tell me until I got home :uhoh2 The vet said they were just hot spots and the groomer gave him an antiseptic with lidocain in it to spray on the hot spots.
Now I am giving him N'zymes and spraying him with Ox-E-Drops 2% solution, baking soda solution, and listerine. The dog sitter didn't like spraying him with these because Zuko looked sad when he sprayed him.
So now Zuko has raw legs and something I am not so sure I wanted sprayed on him?????
I am so glad that my sitter was concerned for him, but a bit upset that he took him without my knowledge and got other stuff to put on him, when I gave him 3 SPRAYS to spray on him.
I am nervous enough about my boys skin- I just don't want to through anything else in the mix that shouldn't be in there.
This is such a frustrating process. I am even questioning my change to raw food at this point. I am just so worried and frustrated.
Back when we had him on Orijen kibble his skin cleared up and he was doing so well. Then we changed to Natures Logic and things went into the crapper again. Then we went raw. He just still hasn't gotten well since. We have tried so many things to get this under control. I just want to rid him of this yeast and stop him from this insane itching!!!
I just want to know that we are on the right track. I just want to know that we are going in the right direction with the raw food, the N'zymes...
It is so hard.
We spend so much time and money on these dogs and we just want to do what is right. And when things just don't get better it is so frustrating. Sometimes vets are no help. I just want someone to tell me what is wrong with him and help me make him better without making me broke. Instead I have to figure it out on my own. I go to the vet when I HAVE to. I am learning so much, but it is at an emotional cost...
I just love my dogs so much...
So where am I going here....
I just want to know- The N'zymes are working if he is getting worse right? I need to stick with it and I am doing the right thing feeding him raw right? I should continue to use my sprays and not the sprays from the groomer. Should I get him and elizabethan collar? SHould I put tube socks on him?
OK, so that is it for now.... sorry for the long message- I am just really frustrated today.
