Hi, Please excuse my Ignorance on pet care, but that is why I'm here
I have read the adds for these tonics , supplements, but how do I know what is bogus and overpriced,and which ones really work, guess I need to explain my dogs ("Oreo") symptoms in detail
I have never seen a dog this miserable as far as itching , dry skin flaking dandruff , biting, hair falling out , bald spots ,dry hair, hair changing from black to orange.I thought it was from fleas,but when I bathed her and treated her there were hardly any fleas
I went to pet smart a month ago and changed her dog food from dry pedigree to dry Iams lamb only as suggested by a neighbor..I bought her medicated shampoo for 10 bucks, and purchased a spray that makes her smell better and supposed to moisten up her hair..I also got her advantage for fleas and ticks..I got her a new collar,brush and some other stuff
Although she is showing some improvement her coat is shiny , but she still has dandruff and she still eats herself and scratches and shakes her head..she is still bald in her biting spots but I see stubbles of hair coming through... she also is still lazy..She could be more active for a young dog IMHO. And I see signs of her eyesight not being as good as it once was, my wife dis agrees with the bad eye sight..OK! it is arguably not as good ... Oreo is 5-6 years old ..
Now I might get flamed but I have to ask:
I have to mention I'm going to start taking omega 3 fish oil because my cholesterol is shooting up
(I'm 37 but I love me some fried chicken and shrimp.
I'm a little apprehensive about sharing human supplements,But then again would that not be the same ingredient that is in the pet supplements.. I'm also curious as to what opinions you guys might have about me sharing my human supplements with Oreo as well.. she is around 25 pounds
All this dog does is listen and want to be petted. and she stinks a bit. I have never seen a dog this respectful .. All she wants is love and I never really liked a dog that much until we got Oreo for our daughter that was suffering cancer and a leg amputation..she is part of the family for sure
Any suggestions on how to treat her is most welcome..Especially if it comes from experienced people on a budget.. Thank you for reading this
