Update on Bogie & pansy picture

BubbaLeroy · 02-02-2012, 08:03 PM

We took Bogie back to the vet yesterday. He is somewhat better with his skin issues, but he still gets outbrakes of the tiny bumps under the skin that turn into small scaly round spots. The grain free diet with The Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Salmon food has helped and his coat is so soft and shiny and he seems to shed less. He also poops a lot less!

The vet put him back on an antibiotic and wants us to just continue with the weekly medicated baths and spray treatments with the Genta Spray for the seborreah. Bogie's pyoderma (bacterial folliculitis) on his chin and lips is also back (turns the hair green on his lips where he drools constantly and itches). He switched the antibiotic and will keep him on it longer this time. He said we'll probably be dealing with this from now on and may end up on keeping him on a maintenance antibiotic. Otherwise he was pronounced healthy and fit. He was pleased that Bogie has lost 2 pounds, now 55 pounds, due to the new food and said he looks great!!

After we got home I took some new pictures The orange pansies are so pretty right now I couldn't resist getting Bogie to pose in the middle of them

. The yard guys for the retirement community we live in know my husband is a Uni. of Tenn. fan, so they planted orange pansies for us. Everyone else got multicolored.

Well done, Bogie!

Annie is starting her transition to TOTW Pacific Stream tomorrow. I hope she does as well as Bogie has

I know what you are talking about Vinny gets those raised scaley bumps,usually during the spring but if I don't get him on an antibiotic they go through his whole coat.

Good luck with Annie and the new food. We went very slowly first swapping about 1/8th of a cup of old to new for three days. Then 1/4th for three days, etc. until he was totally on the Taste of the Wild. Never upset his tummy going so slowly. Bogie loves his new food.
