WENDELL WEDNESDAY.
Thank you for all the kind words for Wendell this week. He is feeling much, much better! The vet confirmed that it was indeed a food allergy, but it had flared into a bacterial infection - with one especially bad spot near the top of his tailbone. Poor guy! He came home from the vet with some medicine and a shaved butt, and the improvement was almost immediate. Wendell has his energy back and has been running us ragged around the neighborhood, chewing up all of my knitting yarn, and generally being a puppy again. It is such a relief to see the light back in his eyes.That being said, we cannot recommend a raw diet highly enough. We fed Wendell pretty much nothing but meat and eggs his whole life, and these problems started the day we switched him to kibble (an expensive, organic brand nonetheless!) Do some research about what is in your dog food....just like with people, the higher expense for the food is justified in less trips to the vet/doctor.- Hannah.
