thanks SP…was hoping you would pick up this thread….the only carbs i could see on the food list was bonio biscuit and whatever is in any veg/fruit…narnies for example…
have never had a dog react to mild savlon wash…but yep my OH does…  😀

think i will try that pro bi on my ted…thanks for the link… have always been wary of buying it in tab/cap/powder form because of all the stuff in them…what dose do you use? ted is about 32K and now stuggling to keep weight on him

yep…PM i would send to the inner groin as the under front leg pit glands are prob a bit inflamed….

I give mine a capsule a day, I avoid other “compounds” as , like you say, they contain “thing extraneous” to my/their needs” 🙂

Sorry to resurrect this thread,…..but here we go again!
Doug started scratching again last weekend, not too bad at the moment but he has chewed a bald patch on his front leg.

After the allergy tests etc last December revealed nothing, and checked for fleas etc, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll just have to try and keep his skin condition under control myself, as the vets answer is always steroids. So Doug has started on Piriton and bathing with oatmeal shampoo, and using Dermacton cream/spray.

Someone has suggested that older dogs (Doug is 9) should be fed less protein?
He’s fed RAW so should I reduce the protein content? If so, should I up the veg? Maybe give cottage cheese, if I reduce the protein ( meat) content? I’m getting a bit confused. :-[

He loves his RAW diet, but I’m losing confidence that I’m doing it right with him.
Thanks in advance.
