Hi to everybody!
I spent 2 hours reading the health topics, but found nobody with similar problem...
My 2 year old Blenheim cav is having a problem with his coat :?
Ok- a lot of cavaliers have reddish faces,mine too.But for the year now his tummy zone,between back legs ,and paws are lightly reddish.
This summer his coat was so smelly , but it's over now.I believe it was because of ear infection .
I tried with Angel's glow for 6 months and he looked :w*w: he was white as a snow!Eyes were dry,looking good!
Nobody happier than me.. But sadly, when stopped with it, I was shocked when noticed traces of that disgusting change of colour.
His face was every day more and more red :yuk: but not smelly now.
We took him to vet but it seems he has no idea what to do.He says it's normal because he swims a lot(every day,but after that I always wash wet parts with water ).
So, now I know he can have his great coat back,but how???
He's shedding a lot, but coat is OK ,except colour.
We have bacteria and fungus test done.In lab they found Staphylococcus aureus and candida infection.
He got 13 days therapy -Synulox, Oronazol bath ,and Tobrex eye drops.
For his tummy vet gave him Stypto-lactin.
This oral therapy is over ,now I have to bath him for two weeks in that shampoo.
I changed his diet from combination RC Adult+puppy to RC beauty(thats morning meal,evening meal is cooked +BARF)
The only thing that is looking better now is his face,it's little bit whiter .
He hasn't been alergy tested yet.Food elimination process is mission impossible because he is very choosy and doesn't like eating.
His tummy is sensitive, so every food mistake leeds to diarhea,but it's not happening often
Did enybody have such experiences with cav coats?
Please , every advice is welcome, don't know what else I could do...
BTW
I stopped with A.Glow because couldn't find it any moore in Croatia
But after 7 months of therapy it should do the trick,do you agree? :roll:
