Dog skin 'trouble'
Comments (22)Long story short - My brother rescued the dog because someone was locking, abusing him in a dark basement...we got him when he was fairly young, couple years. Then my brother got a new job and was really busy so the dog would just sit at home all day alone... Anytime I was close by I would take the dig for a walk, I noticed he wasn't doing good, he would Throw up this thick mucus phlegm(lymph system) from the unhealthy kebble... So I took him in and started researching what to do to help him. I found out about raw meat... I myself, already been on a rawfood diet for some time(fruit/vege but never knew about a dog proper diet.. So I put him on raw meat bones and some vegetables and herbs I pick... He is 100% better know. He could barely breath then, today I just took him for a 7-8 mile walk in 80 degree wheather! To answer your question honestly, he did bite me fairly bad when I was really little but he was not on raw foods then he was in kibble... He was aggressive because people used to abuse him... I put him on the raw meat bones diet(BARF) and he has never shown anymore aggression. I make him take treats out of my mouth.... My Doberman snatches food more than he does! Raw diet also makes dogs much more intelligent and active... No more mucus for him, he can breath finally! Hope this helps. Joe...See MoreFungus and Yeast
Comments (13)This is a lot more interesting than it seemed from the title. The reason you have mushrooms is you are watering too often. What we in the grass world have determined to be optimum watering schedule is for the lawn to get about an inch of water per week in the summer and an inch per month in the cooler months. That should be applied all at one time, like a rainstorm might do, rather than 1/7 inch applied every day. When you allow the soil to dry out between watering, you very seldom get mushrooms. If you want to tune up your new patch of soil, I would suggest using organic fertilizer for the rest of the summer. Normal soil contains tens of thousands of species of fungi, bacteria, protozoa, amoeba, and microarthropods (teensy insects). These microbes usually perform many functions including keeping plants healthy, keeping each other healthy, cleaning up spilled stuff (including food stuffs and even chemicals), AND they provide food to plants through the roots. Without getting deep into the biology, when YOU feed the microbes with real food, they will return the favor by turning your lawn a very deep green, making it dense, and causing it to grow a little more. The food I"m talking about is organic fertilizer. The really good organic fertilizers are made from food like corn, wheat, animal parts, soybean meal, alfalfa, and any other ground up nut, bean, seed, and grain that makes sense. These healthy microbes self balance as long as they are fed and watered. Normal soil has a healthy balance of fungi, bacteria and all the rest. Diseases are suppressed naturally by the activity of the other microbes. When you do something like apply a fungicide, that wipes out a significant part of the balancing act. Other microbes will move in to fill the void until the fungi can repopulate. The other thing I would suggest is a soil test to determine if you have any chemicals in the soil that might lead to issues with your dog. The best soil test for lawns in the states is probably the $20 test at Logan Labs in Ohio. If you get it tested and post your results here, you will get help interpreting the results. All this is to help get your soil tuned up and rule out the soil and/or lawn as being an issue to the pup. It could be the dog is allergic to the grass itself. I know I am allergic to bermuda and to buffalo grass. I would not want to be rolling around in either one....See MorePet Shampoos
Comments (2)You need to find out what is causing the skin problem first before trying a shampoo. It could be bacterial, yeast infection, or even mange. See your veterinarian for a checkup and do NOT shampoo before seeing the vet or you will be making it harder to determine the cause of the itching.

Comments (5)That smell is usually due to excessive sebum production, often secondary to allergic and/or bacterial/fungal (including yeast) skin disease (pyoderma). But the primary problem is usually allergies, which are not simply controlled, though shampoos can help some. Agree with a dermatology visit, as that will cut to the chase the fastest, and you will avoid a lot of unnecessary treatments that may not work....See Morebrownthumbia
