oh my god, this website is amazing!<br />
I red some reviews and apparently Innova is grain heavy! I would not have came up to that conclusion myself because the first 3 ingridients are all meats and it is considered a good quality food. That explains why he poops so much!

After reading about yeast infection on nzymes (thanx to Lyla) I think that might be what he's having.<br />
His skin is dry on the belly area, those spots itch and his chest is also itchy.<br />
His eyes are itchy, he rubs his face on carpet to scratch them. The inside corners are red too.<br />
He had been on antibiotics 3 times already in the 5 months I had him. 1-st time for staph, second for giardia and third for aspiration pneumonia after the neutering. I really think the first time was absolutely…

He had been on antibiotics 3 times already in the 5 months I had him. 1-st time for staph, second for giardia and third for aspiration pneumonia after the neutering. I really think the first time was absolutely unnecessary. If I knew that I could rid of it by correct nutrition I would. It wasn't that serious and it didn't bother him at all.<br />
I read somewhere that flea and heartworm preventative could cause yeast too. It is not an option to quit those two right now, he interacts a lot with other dogs and always brings fleas home.<br />
So I am going to get some frozen ground turkey today and some veggies and start gradually feed him raw with yogurt or kefir.<br />
He's definitely getting a bath today. Some people had to bathe their yeast infected dogs twice a week, but I think it's not that severe now.<br />
Beth, I'll try to get pictures, but they are so small I'm not sure aobut my camera's resolution. Can you get pictures of it?…tag:mycorgi.com,2009-10-21:1150197:Comment:5447812009-10-21T16:08:55.749ZBethhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Beth306

<br />
If it IS staph, staph can frequently be relatively resistant to antibiotics and what will happen is the germ load is reduced but not eliminated, so that when antibiotics are stopped it comes right back.<br />
<br />
I'm not really familiar with dog skin ailments, though; that's just what little I know of regular ol' staph. That does not mean it's what Shiro has, of course.<br />

Did you try checking with your breeder? Maybe she will have had experience with something similar. If I were stumped and not convinced of what my vet was saying, I know I'd give our breeder a call and see what she says. She's had more Corgis at one time then I'd own in a lifetime....

I have a friend who recently switched her dog to Wellness. He suffers from skin allergies. He's a Golden Retriever. I spoke with her today and she says she is noticing an improvement. You might want to consider switching food. This is a great website for comparing dog foods ~~> <a href="http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com">www.dogfoodanalysis.com</a>

I looked into so many things but nothing looks quite like it. The skin is not scaly or irritated, they are just small black dots from itty bitty ones up to 1/12 of an inch. I've been spraying it with betagen that we had from the last time and he'll be getting a long and foamy bath soon. If I have to bathe him every week to get rid of it I will.<br />
I am still thinking to switching to a different food though. Innova is a high quality food but he poops so much it makes me think very little stays in…

Go to nzymes.com and read around the pet area. It might be some kind of skim infection, but I fear against your pup getting too many antibiotics. I am convinced that was the reason my Aussie had so many health problems for the first year of his life- 3 or 4 rounds of antibiotics in as many months!! If it is an infection, the Ox-E drops on that site can be helpful. It is a completely natural anti-fungal. I use it on my dogs' itchy skin and it is great.<br />

One other thought... have you had his skin scrapes to check for Demodex Mange? It is not altogether uncommon in pups and very treatable.
