Milo
In this shot Milo is enjoying being spoiled and sucked up a bit. Short haired dogs chill quickly in -20C temps. He's been on meds for his ear for almost 2 weeks and is showing marked improvement. The vet thought the problem might be due to food allergies because Milo had been scratching at his ears and chewing at his nails and pads. Apparently that is generally how allergies show in dogs - feet, ears and coat. So, between the pills, drops and a different formula food he is better than before. He's leaving his ears alone, not chewing at his feet, his coat is even more thick and lustrous, and his behaviour has improved. His diet may have been causing him some stress as he seems more settled now and less likely to be into everything. He's a great dog and one thing is for sure; he couldn't get any more handsome.

He's a real cutie. Glad to hear he's not eating himself up. It's so hard when animals get sick, isn't it?
We're glad of the changes the new diet is bringing about in him. It does seem to be making a difference. I really had no idea that a dogs diet could produce stress in them.
I did take note of the rR post regarding comprehensive cat care and really should print it off as a resoource for our two.
