Hi I just got Hoss about a month ago, and hes had problems from day one. We were told he had distemper, turned out it was an upper resperatory infection, he was deaf...turned out it was an ear infection. He has dull fur...definitely had worms. The only thing we have not been able to figure out is his scratching.
He doesnt have fleas or worms anymore, but the scratching is insistent. He is beginning to lose hair and whatnot. I am thinking it maybe was an allergy, and its possible that I havent given it time to get out of his system, but he doesnt seem to be doing better at all. He was on Nutro, but after researching alot about dogfoods, I realized that this was not good esp. if you are considering allergies because of the amount of corn and gluten in the first five ingredients. I recently have been doing a home made diet of
1st week batch) Ground turkey, oatmeal, wheat rice, green beans, and carrots
2nd week batch) boiled chicken personally peeled from the bone, green beans, carrots, white rice, and oatmeal. -Devoid of wheat
I am concerned that bc hes a puppy (bout ten weeks) es not getting enough in his diet for proper growth and, regardless, nothing seems to be helping anyway.
Please let me know any ideas that you may have...
