Used to have the same skin problems and found, the hard way, that the saying 'ears and rears plus paws' (red, itchy rear ends, paws and ears that the dog chews and/or licks a lot) DOES indicate a tendency toward allergies. For ours it was corn in the kibble. Read your labels, if corn (wheat and soy are the other 2 big offenders for some dogs) is one of the first 4 ingredients, try changing their food to grainless or at least one without the corn. We've had no hotspots, no skin infections, no ear problems since we switched.<br /><br />Yes, the food is more expensive. The reduction in vet bills and medications has more than offset the extra cost. You usually have to feed less because the food is more dense and one big upside is that there is a lot less poop scooping to be done. Change over slowly if you decide to try it, and don't expect results overnight. The dog usually has to eat it's own weight in the food before you realize that you haven't had a problem in a while.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586291342652046255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-62362317618109925912010-05-04T07:00:55.357-05:002010-05-04T07:00:55.357-05:00Love the hair cut!

I found paw paw ointment to be a great saver. Stops infection and she tends to leave it alone as its very soothing.karismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529919522651147308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-11755572866888081062010-05-04T02:43:53.742-05:002010-05-04T02:43:53.742-05:00Your dog seems to be such a good soul ! but the lo...Your dog seems to be such a good soul ! but the look he gives you when you started to shave him, says it all, lol ! He looks very cute with just a brush as tail ! Poor dog it's terrible when they have a skin infection. My Arthur had it once too, It was a flea allergy and it went away quickly. I treat all my cats with the Frontline, the famous flea killer but white cats have a special fur and it's not strong enough. Now he has something else and no more skin infections.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-47484104813176837022010-05-03T23:37:11.915-05:002010-05-03T23:37:11.915-05:00What unusual names your dogs have, Sayre.

He did it yesterday and I swear he pulled enough hair to make a whole new dog.<br /><br />I tried it on Squeaker (she wasn't real happy with that process) but there was only a handful from her.pinkpiddypawshttp://pinkpiddypaws.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-17303735799596880392010-05-03T14:25:43.908-05:002010-05-03T14:25:43.908-05:00ouch.

My husband takes the dogs on bike rides and they jump into ponds and lakes to cool off. We suspect that Revan's staph infection occurred because there was something in the water at one of the places they go. Having that long hair, he doesn't dry out as quickly as Kida - so we've been very careful about him not getting into strange water since then. Maybe now that he's clipped so closely, he can enjoy that again.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-74451990691833727812010-05-03T12:44:54.476-05:002010-05-03T12:44:54.476-05:00Poor Rev!

The vet says his spots are caused by water laying underneath the fur and he develops an allergic reaction. We shave the fur from around the spot and apply a home made remedy. It works every time! <br /><br />Rev. looks like he is happy with his hair shaved. Probably cooler too! Kida has beautiful color!Living Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536713874842469949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-66665421959608114782010-05-03T12:12:24.758-05:002010-05-03T12:12:24.758-05:00I'm glad you got those infections controlled. ...I'm glad you got those infections controlled.
