Commissions for Ein's Itchies are closed, but stuff 4 sale!

Oh poor baby. I know it doesn’t help to just wish for money to buy something but I do. 🙁 Hope your able to sell enough and quickly

I read some of your comments in the LJ comm and just wanted to mention, like the old busy body that I am, have you done a 6-8 week food trial (as in, a food source with both a novel protein, and a novel carbohydrate, like z/d or similar from the vet) and NOT FED HIM ANYTHING BUT THAT FOOD? I abuse the caps key, because it’s important. He can eat nothing but that food, and only that food. If he gets scraps or anything you’re right back to square one with the trial. If it’s year round, and you get hard freezes where you live during the winter, my first thought would be food issues.

But you can also ask for an allergy panel. They draw blood, send it off and you get results back as to what he’s allergic to, and they formulate a serum that he’ll get injections of at intervals to help control his symptoms. It’s expensive, but far better for him than steroids.

Good luck selling your items though!

Ohh I wish I could take you up on your commission offer but right now is not a good time…. 🙁

I hope Ein feels better and I know how frustrating this must be for you! But I have heard that itching is very common in dogs and most of the time its associated with the food that they are eating or allergies. If you asked me last year I would have never said this but I am 100% for raw food for dogs now..I have done alot of research and I have seen such an improvement with Maks since we started feeding him raw foods. I know that my situation is very different form yours but I have to admit that Maks used to itch alot as well on top of his other condition that he has been diagnosed with and my vet kept on telling me to try different food brands form the vet or the local pet store which ended up making things worse for Maks I think..1 He’s always had very sensitive skin but since the raw diet I have noticed that he has not been itching as much! I am pretty sure that Maks was alergic to something in all those dry foods!

hat if your dog has alergies the vet mey put them on prednisone! Just make sure if that happens that Ein gets potasium cause there is something about prednisone that takes that away from the dogs and its not good for them, just out of pure luck Maks gets banana bread for a treat and I think thats what saved him cause our vet never told us and he was on a really high dose of prednisone for about 8 months or so.

YUP…we get it form a women that feeds her 5 dags RAW food as well, she grinds up all of the bones with the different types of meats and sells it in portions to us along with the other stuff that your dog is required to eat, we feed Maks all of the required animal parts that he needs in his diet and some are really smelly but we get them frozen and give them to Maks frozen which really helps with storing the foods and taking away the smell of it.
You can research online if there is anyone in your area who does that and you may be able to connect with them. the RAW diet is human raw meats but the dog also needs all of the nutrients from the bones, so they have to be included in the meal as well as all of the stomach of the cow and other things as well.
I will admit that it takes a bit of learning adn knowlege cause its not as simple as just regular pieces of chicken etc that you would feed your dog but the diffence is truely amaizing.
I would suggest you do some research online cause every dog is different and the portions go by your dogs weight.

I haf a chow that had flea allergy among other allergies and when nothing else seem to help I would put about 12″ of warm water in the bathtub along with a cup of Epsom Salts then put her in it and dribble it over her for about 15 minutes and that seemed to really help her you might try that.
