We are trying out another idea intended to help with dogs’ skin allergy – atopy. One of our neighbours, Sheila, told Mum about it. Her Dog Jack is a Collie and he get itchy skin as well. Sheila read an article about a brand of mineral water that contains Salicin, which is a form of Willow extract. This has been found for hundreds of years to help skin problems, and now some dog owners are reporting improvements in their dogs’ skin conditions after drinking Willow Water. If you live in the UK it is on sale at all Waitrose supermarkets and larger Sainsbury’s stores. I have been drinking it for a week, we will see if there is any improvement after a month.

This is getting boring, and painful! My ear, for which I have been taking Baytril for months, is still bleeding and full of pus. It smells awful, of course, and Mum is despairing over how to cure it. I have seen four different vets over the course of the infection and we understand the link between ear infections and Atopy. The problem is, how do we resolve the allergy to give me some relief from the pain? Mum and Dad are talking to the vet again and I will report when we have any more news.
