Guest greytlady Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have a big white boy that I have been taking to the vet for months about a reoccuring ear infection. They have done cultures, topical meds, oral meds, the list goes on and on. They were finally suggesting ear surgery that was pretty radical and I was looking around for other options. Someone told me to try switching foods. I started him on fish and potato from Nature's Recipe and guess what. After a month with no meds, his ear is immaculant! It is not painful anymore and no discharge what so ever. Evidently it was a food allergy. I have to be careful with cookies and he really misses his rawhide, but no beef for him. Guess I can chalk this one up to another reason I am switching vets.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 It happens a lot. My DD's MinPin had a recurrent ear infection and the vet told her to switch foods. Glad it's finally resolved! Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robingrey Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 That's one of those 'that would have been nice to know a hundred years ago' kind of things. You would think the vet would at least mention it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JarBear Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have one that is on a fish based diet due to allergies. Flint River Ranch has a Trout and Potato treat that all my dogs love. I order them from flintriver.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
