Himani I have a 7 months old Boxer. He is suffering from a sever skin allergy. He gets various eruptions that is small spots on his back and upper legs. Earlier they came once in a while but now they just seem to be there throughout the day. There is no itching or redness on his skin and no other symptoms are noticed.
Earlier the doctors told that he is prone to Rickets so I was giving him a heavy dose of calcium, now his rickets have really improved and the difference can be seen in his legs.
Can his skin allergy and rickets be related? Or is that he has some other deficiency like Iron or Vitamin?
The doctors have prescribed anti-allergy from him but they don’t seem to work. Please Help!
Pauline Hopefully the vets also have him on a special food for skin sensitivities? Vets sell it, Hill's Prescription Diet. Too much calcium is bad, like a dog who eats bones a lot, as this will upset the calcium hosphorus ratio for proper bone development. Important in muscles too. One could end up with a big dog but weak in joints and muscle. I have a friend who has been injecting her dog with Staph aureus as he was unresponsive to allergy meds and has similar skin eruptions, hers are Bulldogs. This injection, along with this food, has made his fur and skin beautiful. She has now tapered the injections down to once a month instead of weekly. Good luck now.
