I have over the last fortnight changed my 3 over to a more natural form of feeding, I wouldn't say it was totally BARF just yet but we're getting there. Anyhow, my question is this...
Those of you who now feed this type of diet to dogs who had previosly had ear/skin/anal gland problems etc. how long was it before you saw any amount of improvement in the condition?
My old girl Meg (12) has suffered from ear problems for years, we've tried all the different ear drops, and although successful for a while, the problem soon comes back.
My vet identified the bacteria as pseudomonas, which like e-coli and MRSA is an opportunist, and once it takes hold is very difficult to shift (vet said even if she gave her a GA and flushed the ears out she felt it would be back within a couple of weeks).
I'm wondering if the ear infection could be the result of an allergy, thus lowering the immune system, so this is why I've decided to give BARF a go, as I've tried quite a few of the quality complete foods with no outward difference between them.
I'm having some success with colloidal silver, but I really would like to sort them out if possible.
Oh, and I've tried Thornit too
