Our dog Radar is 11 years old. We have had him for 7 years. He is Chiweenie dog. He has always shown allergy like issues. One being his licking of his feet and scratching. He is prone to eat infections. Other than that he has been healthy and rarley sees a vet. He sheds horribly also. Had him vets office back in Oct. ear infevtion and scratching. Did all the medicine things..the wash But now he has licked his paws to point of no hair a most bleeding. Will call Monday for vet appt. My question is have any of you had a pet with these issues? What food can I put him on that might help.His teeth are so tiny that Rachel Raues Little Bites is what he's been on for several years. He is going nuts and so am I !

(sometimes detoxing or eliminating pathogens including candida on the skin can cause bubbling like hydrogen peroxide, or red dots, or other appearances from the sheer number of dead infectious cells or organisms) i.e. find someone who knows , outside the ama, for info on transient effects...
