That looks a lot like what Adicus gets. I assume it's allergy related, although the vet isn't so sure. Anyway, his usually gets much worse because he starts to chew on his hands... But the rash had also appeared in the armpit and back legs too.

Good luck and glad to hear Riley (and Thomas) is getting better.

I can't imagine every leaving adi for an extended amount of time alone in the house! I crate him. He's just six months and well, very well behaved... so a quick run to the store and back when he's not too energetic is as much freedom as he gets. I don't think he'll ever really  get liberated, as I have two cats and just under 700 sq feet... He loves to chase and attack the cats. Which could mean I'd be walking into a disaster zone.

The scary thought it that the cage he is in now, which was passed on to me from my dad who used it for his labs, just won't be large enough as he keep growing. He's filling it out nicely now, but after the new year, we may have to go buy the next size up - the largest one available!

Good luck finding a solution that works for you. Adicus loves his crate and it guarantees that he won't be getting in trouble any time soon.

That's a good point. A lhasa asha (sp?) we had growing up had to have surgery to remove a cherry eye. they're are bulbous, but it would be easier to catch if you are aware that it's a possibility... often times, they can be a reappearing problem, if the pup develops one.

i take a tissue to adi's eyes each day to get the "sleep" out of there. if you do the same, you can easily monitor the situation.

yay for saints. 

Awe. He just wanted to love him some Heidi. I am glad to hear he's doing well. And you can rest easier when the girl goes into heat. Sigh, I can't imagine having a girl pup in heat. I've only had maybe one or two girl dogs growing up, and they were spayed so early... Let alone a boy and a girl!

I am going to be neutering Adi sooner than I would ideally like, probably in a month or so. At this point, I am up for the full-time position here in Milwaukee, but don't know when they will be making their decision. I am definitely going to be here till Jan 5, though. After that, we might be moving off to Austin. I am going to neuter Adicus here because I really love and trust our vet who came so highly recommended from everyone at the newsroom where I work. I just don't want to worry about moving and then trying to find a vet that I feel comfortable with or something going wrong. Adi will be about 7 months when he gets the snip.

Haha, Adi will do that if he wants me out of bed. I  usually get up in the morning to take him out and give him some food, then go back to bed... two hours later its a wet snout on my face or a dog laying on me in the most awkward position with a little whine.

Duke's a barrel. Hope you didn't suffer brain damage.

Adi has one rear dewclaw which is really just like a tiny toenail. It appeared one day when I was rubbing his belly and then his foot and I said what was that... and it popped out. Sounds weird, I know. I'm notorious for being a 'picker' so it bugs the h*ll out of me. I want it removed but unless he deems it just as annoying, I won't ask them to do it when he gets neutured.

Adi did well on Eagle Pack puppy before I surmised that he had a corn allergy that had him breaking out and itching. In turn, he did great on Solid Gold Wolf King for a few weeks. Now it's back to the runs. I am going to go pick up a smaller bag of Eagle Pack holistic to try him on it, because I loved the Eagle Pack... Wish us luck....


AND GOOD LUCK to your cutie. Iams doesn't have a good rep. at all. I have a hugeeee bag of Eagle Pack puppy left, for large & giant breeds. I can ship it to you for the cost of shipping only if you want to try it out! It's just sitting in my mud room. It's still good though! PM me if interested!

Looks like Adicus either picked something up on a walk or his tummy just doesn't like the Wolf King anymore. I'm taking a fecal in today for analysis. I tried filtered water, but that made things WORSE. Yuck.
