We did the antibiotics and it was helping however once he completed his course they would come back. We ended up doing a biopsy and it came back bacterial, we just weren't treating long enough. The dog is fine now, minus the cyst beneath his eye which will need a specialist to remove. | |

An animal can be on the same food it's entire life and then all of a sudden become allergic to something in the food. Pet food companies who sell to pet stores or grocery stores can also change an ingredient in their food and not have to update the packaging for 6 months where as veterinary diets CANNOT do this. (note this is in Canada). | |
