Sam is still not doing great when it comes to skin and coat. I tried the allergy pills and they seemed to help a little, but I am thinking they seemed to help as I gave them to him while he was still shedding badly and now most of his undercoat is gone.
I found another hotspot on him, this time on a back knee. His last one wasn't in a wrinkly spot, either. It used to be that when he'd get them, they were in his "dewlap" area, which makes sense. Now they are just wherever. I took him swimming on Friday otherwise, he hasn't been wet much.
Overall he is still itchy, dull coat, and hotspots.
I am going to take him off poultry completely and try beef, rabbit, mackerel, and pork instead. I'm also going to add more low-glycemic veggies and coconut oil. I feel like when we first went raw, he was doing really well, but at the time, I was not feeding much chicken. Over the past several months, chicken has been a main staple. I've also been doing some reading on the Chinese theory when it comes to dogs, and lentils, quinoa, flax seed, and millet were recommended for dogs with his condition, so I may throw some of that in there, too. Also, I'm going to be more consistent with the coconut oil.
Anyone else have issues with raw chicken?
