GoldiesRgr8Poodles2 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 thanks everyone for the replies and recipies. No SAS I ahve had you to the vet... for a couple of reason... Its not bad enough to affect her quality of life now that iver changed her food and becasue before i was able to eliminate the possibility of a contact allergy. she runs around outside... i have wondering dew and ivy that she doesnt play in but may walk through and on these specifica occations nothering triggers the itchies, even rolling in the grass and dirt doesnt do anything. at my mums house same thing, park same thing, the only thing that accelorated the problem was changin her food or certain "treats" like beef in her normal food things like that... She is also very fearful and to have anyhting like blood tests or skin scrapings done would have to me full sedated. not twilight sedation but full sedation and she gets very sick from that so I need to avoid vet interaction with her as much as possible... I wont however let it affect her life before I make that choice. I just want to do what I can first. As a groomer ive also looked at the shampoo side of things and have found that an oatmeal bath every 10 days does a nice job at soothing the skin too. plus she likes being a clean princess... before all this i woujld only bath her once a month and in a very high quallity shampoo that we use at the shop. heres hoping the food works!

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Turkey mince at $3.99-$4.99 seems very expensive. We use minced chicken frames which we get from Lenards at $1.25/kg, buy one get one free so in essence it is $.625/kg. Rather than putting vegetables through the blender we use V8 vegetable juice (the original) or Woolies brand Vegetable juice which we can buy on sale for around $3.50 for 1.5 litres. To this we add Natural yoghurt, pasta, linseed or flax seed oil, apple cider vinegar and minced garlic. We feed this mixture on a 2/3rd one 1/3rd basis with Nutro Lamb and Rice, which is formulated for dogs with a sensitive skin. Nutro is available in Adelaide. http://www.nutro.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
