oh, they know it's their food. that aren't dumb. but they give up

when they see that's all that they will get. my one lab needs a hip

surgery in the spring and needs to shed some weight, so it's for her

own good. my female lab owns me, or at least she thinks so. she is

the most lovable dog, until i pet another animal. then she has a

hissy fit. even though all of the other animals were here before her!

Jena,

It did stop all of the itching finally but for almost 14 days he couldn't

hold his bladder no matter what he did. It was kinda sad as he had never

went in the house before so he had no idea what was going on he would give

me this look like what the heck is happening! It was almost heartbreaking.

He is now on 20 mg of prendisone every day and that really seems to help. He

is a very big boy 156 pounds and the vet didn't think that low a dose would

help him but it has. I now have the puppy that is starting the same thing.

I think I read somewhere that Newfies are allergic to corn so I guess I

better do some more research and find another food without corn...hahahaha

almost impossible! Good luck

Gentle hugs, Debi

my poor little dog

My little dog Shelby has hot spots or dermatitis. Anyways my DIL works as a

Vet Tech and told me to shave the places and bathe her good and then put the

medicine on. So, Shelby ended up with a backward Mohawk. LOL but she seems

to be relieve. not scratching anything like she was. Sure hope this helps

her as visits to the vet are very expensive down here.
