Very touching story Krl. I myself am a dog owner. I have 2 mini wiener dogs that I love and care for deeply. They are my children. I am all for natural healing and feeding my dogs a diet of raw natural food. A few months ago my one male who is only a year old started to get ear infections along with hair loss in his armpits, once the hair was gone in both arm pits along came some nasty blisters. I took him to the vet only for them to say well it could be a food allergy for skin scrappings came back negative for anything else. They put him antibotics and pednizone ( steroids ) and told me to only feed him special dog food which they sold at the vet for dog allergies so we could try to rule out what was causing this to him. Things started to get better while on medication but once he was done things went right back to being bad and the blisters got worse and then along came over all stratching that caused more blisters around his ears. It was horrible. I called the vet and they wanted to him back on the meds and steroids and I thought no way for there has to be a better way to help him. I like you spent about 3 weeks researching dogs and allergies and then to find out about natural healing through foods. I also fed him high quallity natural dog kibble so it was hard for me think it was food that did this but after reading I found out just how bad even though its natural ingreedients can be for them and how hard it is for them to digest the food. Anyways to make a long story short I now feed my 2 little dogs a raw diet with supplements and I must tell you my one male is now fully healed and all his hair grew back in his armpits, he is doing better than ever its like they both have a new life in them. Here is what I feed my dogs and have had amazing results.
Pulped up : carrots,peas,brocolli, spinach, celery,
raw hamburger, beef heart and kidney.
raw cut up chicken wings
raw eggs 3 times a week
and for supplements they get every day
sea kelp, organic apple cider vinegar , organic omega 3,6,9 oil
along with ester C .
I hoe this info can help out any dog own out there that might have these same problems with their furry friends. This is also the same for Cats. Here is a url that I found very helpful in my decision to change my dogs over to a all natural diet.
