Fleas are around

My allergies have been really quite bad since I moved to the seaside, and Mum has been putting my tee shirts on me as much as possible. She has even even dosing me with Children’s antihistamine medication as well. Today I had a bath, for the second time this week using Malaseb shampoo. Mum was so upset when she combed me afterwards and found fleas on my skin!!If you can smell vinegar, that’s me - I will report back asap.


Allergy improvement

“Kevin, stop it”, “Put your T-shirt on, Kevin”. These have been the conversations in our house for the past months since my allergy got worse in the warm weather. You might remember that Mum decided to try out a new supplement of omega fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin in dogs. I have now been taking one spoonful of the supplement with my meals for just over two weeks. This weekend Mum realised that I haven’t been itching - and I have not had to wear that stupid t-shirt during the day. Early days still, but we are hopeful that the supplement is beneficial for atopy in dogs.


Dog Allergy Cause and Cure

The latest idea for helping my allergy is a supplement of linoleic acid, which really means Omega6 Fatty Acid). This is an essential fatty acid for a dog but we cannot make it ourselves.
Flaky skin, dull and coarse coat.The symptoms of a fatty acid deficiency are pretty much the problems I have been suffering. They include dry, flaky skin, greasy dull coat and inflamed skin patches after the dog has worried at them. The solution we are trying is a blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils that Mum bought at the local health food shop, I take a spoonful with my food each day. I gave been taking the supplement for ten days now, I will report on progress.


Allergy remedy

The latest idea we have had for dealing with my skin allergy came from some research that Mum did a couple of weeks ago. Although my Burns’ Dog Food, and the James Wellbeloved that I now use, both contain the essential nutrients, there may be some extra elements that could relieve my condition.


Dog Allergy Remedy

I have been having trouble with my skin allergy again this year: it became much worse when the warm weather began and I have been wearing a t-shirt when I am sitting around, to prevent me from scratching. There are no photos of me in the t-shirt: far too embarrassing! Mum and Dad believe there is no point in taking antibiotics for atopy continually, all they do is relieve the symptoms of the illness - not the cause. We have changed my dog food diet twice now in the hope that this will help me in the long term.


Itch and Scratch

Yes it is the dog allergy season again. I have been very itchy since the weather turned unseasonably warm a few weeks ago, and this week I have been very scratchy. Mum thinks I am going to have be get my fur clipped for the summer, as the vet really cannot do anything to clear the allergy up.
