Zeke seems to have a lot of health issues, and I have no idea what to do.
First of all...he has runny poo a lot. I don't know if that's serious, but I can't imagen it's too pleasant. I've tried changing his food to find something that works. Right now, he is on very expensive hypo-allergenic food which seems to do nothing :o He has something wrong with his nose. It's kinda crusty/looks infected? Took him to the vet and had him on meds for a couple weeks. Doesn't seem to be completely heeled. Today he was limping and has a little spot on that paw. I think he's been chewing on it? He always has a little "bald" spot on his eyelid.....
I'm soo confused...I keep taking him to the vet and paying hundreds of dollars for nothing. I can't afford it!! I don't know what to do with him. I don't want him to be in any pain...I buy him the best food, he is very healthy otherwise....I don't get what I'm doing wrong?! I'm going to make yet another appointment with the vet, but I'm so frustrated. I have to take him back again in a couple months for shots. I don't understand what is wrong with him. I've asked my vet about raw, and she doesn't reccomend it. She said it can be good if know everything about it and how it works. If you're not willing to put A LOT of time into it, then don't do it. I don't really have a lot of time to put into. I don't feel comfortable feeding it. She said dogs in the wild may eat raw, but they don't live very long either...or something. Don't remember exactly.
What do I do? I'm sorry it's dumb. Oh, the vet said the thing on Zeke's nose looks like Lupus (???) or something. I don't remember exactly what it's called, but she assumed it was allergies.
