Rusty's Skin Issues

Thanks for asking
Rusty is doing well! The shots are helping. His skin is now pink where is was red. We are also bathing him weekly with Sebahex shampoo. He is still scratching but not nearly as much. The Vet also has me giving him 1 Claritin daily for awhile. The shots are weekly until he gets to a certain dose, then we back off from there. It is a very slow process so he'll be on the shots indefinitely but they are working!!

So glad to hear this is working for Rusty!!!!!
I did put Rusty On Taste Of The Wild Pacific Stream Formula. I had heard to watch the high protein levels in grainfree food so I did some research and found the fish formula of TOTW's was almost the same as his regular kibble. SO I did the switch. He did fine on the first bag but half way through the second bag, he started peeing blood I took him into work and he had a UTI and cyrstals in his urine. The Vet said the calcium levels in some grain frees are just too high for some dogs to handle. That is not something that's listed on the bag. SO he went on Hills C/D along with Uroeze pills from the Vet and we did a repeat Urinalysis. No infection, no crystals. He is back on his regular kibble which is chicken based and doing fine. The following week we had another client with a small dog come in on grain free and the same problem. Many dogs handle grain free fine but not my Rusty
