i am on pred when my asthma acts up and i am hungry as a bull elephant,! LOL
but, i dont eat out of ordinary either.
i would assume it was to clear it up, the question i had was that i didnt see antibiotics listed.
i have to say this,
so far, i have not had to deal with staph or hotspots, any skin conditions with my guys, i credit the food they are fed, and, the monthly grooming schedule they are on.
they do not have excessive undercoat that is dead just laying on their skin, i blast all that out with the high velocity dryer.
good luck to fumble, hopefully this does become a regular thang!
i had no idea calif had ticks that badly!
