I love this idea too! I could contribute something about bloat as Bear had this and survived surgery and lived a good life for about 4 more years. And I have a great story about Bear's great escape and the joyful reunion of me finding him on my birthday, 3 days after he escaped! My mom has written 2...

Wow, if it is yeast, I will be kinda upset :evil: that my vet didn't catch this. She has not done any skin tests that I remember, only blood tests and looking at the skin. I will research on the net too. I went and bought another bag of Solid Gold and the staff at the store recommended acidophalus w...

When Bones came to our home, I was hoping that he and Bear would become buddies from the start. well, Bear started growling and showing his teeth and the two would chase each other growling and biting and I was like, "what have I done, what have I done...). I didn't like to see Bear so aggressi...

forgot...no foul odor. It does sound from your description that it could be this yeast. I could ask my vet for a copy of the blood tests - would that tell you anything?

Thanks :)

Kiwani, it doesn't look nearly that bad. His stomach area has the look of that in several places, but with only one or 2 bumps and a small blackened area. He has a reddened bump here and a reddened bump there (looks similar to the bumps in the picture) and dry, flakey patch here and there (mostly on...

Thank all for your thoughts. Jeff-Bones was on Nutro until the vet suggested that the itching may be due to food allergies so I have been trying out new foods to see if he stops itching.

He has only 4 left and since it doesn't seem to be doing much good, I thought I'd just not get anymore. I'm noticing when I brush him that he has a lot of dandruff, especially under his tail area and still the small raised bumps - sometimes I get a small scab off and there is the reddened raised bum...

Kiwani, Bones had this itch problem well before we moved to this house (I was hopeful that it may disappear with the move, but no such luck) so I don't think that it is the root of the problem. Jeff, Bones is actually licking the dirt up. He is not digging at all. He just bends his head and starts t...

Dirt Eating

Anyone know why Bones may be eating dirt? We have a small planter type brick half moon filled with dirt. We moved here in August and the former owner left the carrots she had planted there for us to eat. This is where I would pull out the small carrots for Bones that he would first play with and the...

I too have dealt with the stubborn "I'm staying here and thats it attitude". Now, I just sit down with Bones and enjoy the day. The Lily and the bunnies story could also be "Bones and the Bunnies" I try to avoid them at all costs but sometimes he sees one. I'm about 5'7 and 125 l...

Hi fighter, To keep your mother's husband happy take some time now to train your dog to go pee and poop in one spot in the yard. It can be done - a chow is very clean by nature so hopefully he got that part of the chow. Go out with him as many times as you can on leash and give him a command in the ...
