dogfood is 1st time she sensitive...i changed her food...den ok alredi...recently,dunno wat she ate...sensitive again...n this time i throw away all her treats(coz some of the treats may got chicken oil)...but she still itchy n got red spot....she is eating nutro choice lamb n rice...if u continue sensitive,planning to change to fish,blackwood....headache~pity her when i see her scratch...

My dog cannot eat Nutro, drop fur damn alot an become itchy. Science Diet makes her shed also.

So far, I'm very happy with California Natural. It is formulated for sensitive skin and itchy skin.... maybe you can go petshop and ask for sample packs.

got chicken oil or not?!.....

Your dog allergic to chicken ah? They got 2 varieties. One is chicken and rice, now got fish and potatoes.

izit?!...got fish n potatoes?!...yeah~ but i ll only try if my baby continue like tat....coz always switch her food oso not good...

Yah, once got problem then only switch lah. The fish and potatoes baru came in but my dog don't like fish hahahah...

I'm using California Natural,Chicken and rice.
Well,i do feed him fruits like bananas,papaya and watermelon.
Is it the fruits that cause?

No, fruits won't cause such problems. I'm guessing something external and not the food since CN is for dogs with sensitive skin. Have to check with vet loh.

Fala loves bananas ...but right after feeding her some , then her tumtum will have pimple-like thingy popped out , can see the pus sometime ..so I stop feeding her bananas ..but she's okay with other frruits like apple , grapes , watermelon and honey dew

Ya can try Nutri Edge. but so far only 2 places have it: ss2 and puchong.

hmmm,i think should go check out at vet,if not later something more serious happend that time terrible lor,take care,cheers

if the stomach area have red spots then most probably is the food....this is wat i'm told....i'm using nutri edge for my puppy as well and think that its quite good....one pet shop recommend me eaglepack but i'm not sure how good it is....but if got problem then change food better lo....if not then nvm...haha by the way nutri edge also can buy at cheras taman pertama...i buy from there.

Alright,thanks anway.
Is it serious?

Is that a kind of food?
Whereabout in SS2?

Alright,thanks.
Not sure whether it's serious or not.

Seems like it's getting dried up,not so red too..
Does it mean that it's healing?

If I'm not mistaken the starch from certain foods (ie. roots/vege's like carrots,yam,banana) does have some effect. It something to do with the way the starch is broken into sugar. Some dogs can manage it,some can't. I guess it's an individual thing.
I guess if ur really want to find out what's causing the problem,maybe u could try eliminting the variables?

Bananas? I do feed bananas..

please check your dog food ingredient see whether it got contain corn and wheat or not, it may cause your dog allergic too
well....just my own exp...i still prefer basic ingredient dog food

Mine is California Natural and it seems ok.

Hi my little Shih Tzu also had been scratching on the front armpits and chest area. So much so that it has become pretty red and nasty. Yesterday evening I took to the vet in Cheras whom after scraping off several sections of hair and skin looked under the microscope.

There can be a few reasons this itchiness occurs. He ruled out mites (undetected) but managed to see he has some fungus and a little yeast (which was not alarming). He also ruled out mange since it manifests only at the front area and not near the rump and behind ears.

As my boy is only 4 months old, he's not keen to start on an oral antifungal as this may impair his liver function (growing puppy still). He recommended this great antifungal shampoo called Sebazole from Virbac (RM40) to be used twice a week for a month. He also prescribed some anti itch and antibiotics (secondary infection) oral. He's afraid that for creams, poor boy can lick it and get an upset stomach.

The shampoo lathers easily and must be massaged into his skin for 20-25 minutes to take effect. Next week I'll bring him back to see if there's any improvement. If not, then a mild dose of oral antifungal will be prescribed.

Some dogs are just more predisposed to fungal and skin infections. We can only try as much to lower the flare ups and watching his diet. I've heard that chicken increases the risk whereas lamb & rice is a better option. My pup's on lamb and rice but still this happens

Please seek treatment fast cos if this prolongs you'll need to deal with more.

Pauline.

i ll bring my furkid see vet soon...share with u all after tat...
