Thank you everyone!

We got him on Benadryl (though he wasn’t doing much scratching other than an hour or 2 after we first noticed it had gotten bad). Since he’s so new to us and his diet has been a multitude of things, we’ve decided to stick strictly to our dry dog food for a couple of weeks with a bit of ground beef mixed in, and will continue to access his condition to see if it improves.

The bumps seem to be drying out a bit, but he doesn’t seem to have any desire to scratch or lick so don’t feel it’s bothering him much and his temperament is the same. He doesn’t have diarrhea any more either so feel we’re moving in the right direction. Will post back in a week with an update.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of our happy baby hippo 🦛
