So much for switching to a better dog food!*PICS*

How's his tootsies today? It usually does take a while for skin to heal, but is he still trying to lick all the time? Maybe call the vet. He might need a shot of steroids. (Star gets them when her hot spots go wild.) Jack was on ProPlan when he joined us, and he was doing well. but Star is SO picky, and after consuming 40+ lbs. of Canidae when Sheman was here, she flat out refused to eat it anymore. Didn't like the ProPlan either, so we went back to our usual Science Diet. I know people here knock SD a lot, but it's what she'll eat. I don't know if you looked at Canidae, but they use terrific ingredients & have a lot of choices of formulas. I especially liked that it contained glucosamine & other good stuff. But if they are doing well on ProPlan, why worry?

Pat - No, he's not licking his feet as much, and I guess it looks like they're starting to clear up a little.
I'm sure I'm just being impatient!
Thanks!

If the licking started because of a food allergy it can take quite a while for things to clear up even after removing the offending food. If the licking continues you might want to take him to the vet for something to help with the itching until his system recovers from the food change so he doesn't lick himself into a skin infection in the meantime.

Looks like we're going to make a trip to the white coats.

His feet aren't looking any better, but he has stopped licking them. So that's a good thing.
But yesterday after I gave him his Benadryl he threw the pills up along with stomach bile.

Poor Buddy! We'll keep paws crossed it's an easy fix.
