Complicated =="

Petcare vet reli cant hope... after my 2nd visit i alrd give up.
I been bringing my white poodle for vacin, that dr grace written on my boy's medical card ~ breed column there "West Highland Terrier"..............  

By the way, where do you groom ur Westie? Very sparse hair...!

Izzit normal that Westie like to " JUMP " instead of run normally ??
I afraid that my Westie leg got problem 

However, Puffy do have seborrhea, and for westie's, i've read, it is a genetic disease.

before this he wasnt taking any medication just omega fatty acids oil and supplements to boost his immune system, i also shower him with malaseb twice a week cause the vet said that he has sebborrhea. he only took had skin infections and had to take antibiotics to control it and that was a couple of months back

a couple of weeks ago when i came back from my trip he had skin very bad skin infection and scabs collected at the end of his ears, i brought him to a different vet cause it is nearer can i couldnt wait already. the vet said that he has mange, so now he is on antibiotics and mange medication. hopefully the mange medication works and he wouldnt have any more skin infections after this

i am monitoring his food, i changed his food from the normal eukanuba puppy food to lamb and rice puppy food. hopefully he will be better

and yes i got him from irene

Turning 1 week...wooow, becoming younger eh. How u turn back his time ah?

yea Puffy was diagnose to have demodex mites by the 2nd vet i brought him to. after his first round of antibiotics, he had an outbreak and now he is on his second round of antibiotics. i am worried that one day these stupid bacteria or fungus will overcome the antibiotics (that doesnt do much harm to his body), i will need to start giving him antibiotics that will harm his body

so now he is on his mange medication, i hope he will be much better if this medication works.

did you find benzoyl peroxide better than malaseb? cause i think malaseb is not really working for Puffy.

its good to hear Casper skin condition is under control. i hope one day Puffy will too.
I can so relate to what you mean by being the personal doctor hahaha cause everyday when i get home after work when i am playing with thim i will check and see if got anything unusual happening on his body or not.

my next biggest problem now is tht Puffy eats his own shit and lick his own pee "

Hi Jac

yea i think i am going to consider bringing him to the gasing vet hospital, my friend who has a min. shz. recommended to me too.

i hope puffy gets better too. my first vet recommended for me to change to the lamb and rice formula first, if it doesnt work i will need to change puffy's food to fish base food. so now still experimenting which type of food will suite him better. i read from your blog on the dog food analysis and i saw the review on eukanuba before. dont think the lamb and rice is good for him cause his outbreak was bad this time

time really flies Scubby is 1 yr old already!
hurry up post more new pictures of him, i miss looking at Scubby's pictures u post
