Allergy Update
Just a little update on Scruffy and his new-found allergies. The vet had determined he was allergic to chicken after seeing him for horribly itchy ears and runny stool.
I took him off chicken and he did seem better. THen the itching came back. Now I have him totally off all grain, including snax and he's a new dog! Happy, healthy, no itchies, no scratching his ear until he cries.  Many thanks to the poster who referred me to the wheaten yahoo group - that's a terrific resource.

rainbow, no I have not posted pix of SCruffy..grr. I don't have a digital cam. I will be borrowing one shortly for other reasons, and I guarantee you will be sick of looking at my gorgeous guy soon heh heh.
As for food,I have him on Orijen 6-fish. Twice a week I give him raw instead, with some (BLAHHHH) green tripe. Raw beefy bones reguarly. His snacks have been the biggest challenge, with toothpaste a close second. They stick that silly chicken in everything. For snacks I just give him dried fish, kangaroo strips or raw fruits/veggies. So far so good.
