Medical Conditions & Diseases / Re: Lethargy in 13 month old Giant Schnauzer

Thanks for the advice! I've been searching his food to see if there was a common ingredient, but I'm sure I'm missing something. He's got an appointment on Monday (different vet) and I'm going to see if they'll test him for allergies. Fingers crossed!

Medical Conditions & Diseases / Lethargy in 13 month old Giant Schnauzer
« on: May 10, 2007, 07:23:07 am »
Hello all!

My 13 month-old (rescued) neutered Giant Schnauzer has been rather lethargic off and on for the past two months. When we got him (Christmas 2006) we gradually switched his food to Nutro Lamb and Rice since his coat was sparse and he had nearly constant eye boogers. The two conditions got better, but still not gone. We've switched him recently to Innova EVO red meat formula and we've been giving him Nupro since we got him.

He still licks and chews his paws daily and licks his genital area frequently. I've also noticed a strong musky smell on him and on his bedding--I don't know what causes it. When I asked my vet he found nothing. 

Has anyone else experienced this with your Giants? Should I be feeding him something else? What are we doing wrong? 

Thanks for your help--my Giant is the dearest thing to me in the world...I don't know what I'd do if he wasn't my constant shadow!
