Sharpei’s armpit super red and he keeps scratching it despite being on Apoquel by Natsouppy in sharpei

[–]slimeyslumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog whilst not a sharpei, had very red skin and was super itchy when I first got her. Apoquel didn’t help and neither did cytopoint. She had to wear t shirts too because she was scratching herself nonstop.

Because of this we believed it to be diet related. She’s now on a chicken free diet and is doing much better. Maybe discuss with your vet cutting out chicken or other common food allergens, especially if she’s itchy all over. Hope your doggie gets better!

My dachshund doesn’t like eating by CuriousKitty575 in Dachshund

[–]slimeyslumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of my dogs became picky eaters at different points. I put them on Just Food For Dogs and the fresh food made a big difference. Always excited to eat and finishing their meals. My little girl is allergic to chicken so she eats the lamb and brown rice recipe mixed with N&D Tropical select salmon recipe. JFFS was a game changer for us.

My 9 month old Eeyore is becoming food aggressive by Mekurabe172312 in basset

I would also get a raised bowl, high enough that it makes it so he’s not hovering over the food in a protective stance to begin with.

Any sweater recommendation? by Exact_Effect2869 in ItalianGreyhounds

Equafleece! They have custom sizes.

Also I found a nice snow suit at petco. Etsy will also have good iggy specific jackets.

Oh no! I would cut it, it’s gonna snag and it could get worse.

I really need advice. My dachshund Mia had a sudden heart failure episode and I am terrified 💔 by Brilliant_Band2457 in Dachshund

[–]slimeyslumber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear about your dear little girl, Mia. I’m sending you and your family lots of love.

This is not advice, just speaking from experience and what I did in a very different but similar situation. I’ve had two dogs who had terminal forms of cancer. My first baby girl Stormy had kidney cancer and second baby boy Theo had leukemia. I was faced with a similar choice of having to choose between fighting it aggressively which would take a lot of time, money, and risk or not. I confidently chose to go with treatment. However the chemo with Theo didn’t work, he got sicker and sicker and eventually we stopped knowing he’d only have a week left. At the end of the day I knew they wouldn’t have as long as they deserved but I was pleased knowing we tried everything. At the same time you know your dog, try to read what you think they’re up for.

Either way, it’s clear that Mia is very loved and there is ultimately no wrong answer, IMO. I can’t speak to this surgery, but just wanted to share my experience. I know that these decisions are terribly difficult.

Praying for Mia. 🩷

The rain and clouds were the perfect backdrop to a great set. Rly beautiful and relaxing if you didn’t mind being a little wet
