Hello! My Meatball just had her 1st birthday a couple weeks ago...so I was thinking about transitioning her to adult food soon since she's been on puppy food...I don't want to mention what brand she…Continue

Julia replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Check to see if there is alcohol in the baby wipes you're using. That can sting. As for the timing of the allergy showing up, grass pollen has its own season, which is over by late summer. So if it is grass, that's why it didn't show…"
Beca and Mishka replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"I'd ask for a referral to a dermatologist/allergist. Expensive, but worth it. We went through this with Mishka and our regular vet last year - she is a great vet, just not a specialist. We kept treating for yeast…"
Sarah C. replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Didi has seasonal allergies that make her eyes run. A LOT.
When it's time, and I know it's time because it's when I wake up with the sniffles, I give her a benadryl. It works pretty well and doesn't cause her any problems."
Elizabeth Throneberry replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Our dog can have allergies to many things. Mine had the same problem and I switched to a grain free dog food and it all got better. They have shoes you can put on your sog for when they do go out on the grass. They have many creams wipes and…"
Chris, Kadi & Brodie replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Dew poisoning is a type of allergy. Basically they are having an allergic reaction to the dew on the grass."
Mila & Meatball replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Thank you for the information! I'm sorry if this sounds really dumb...but what exactly is "dew poisoning"? I tried to google this but most of the things that came up are horse related...
And I thought it was allergy related since…"
Jane replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Have you tried benadryl or claritin/zyrtec? We also had some success with Genesis spray which I believe is a low dose topical steroid spray. Luke had a lot of irritation on his paws from running through the field at the dog park last year, and…"
Cindi replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"Agree with Chris. I've had a number of dogs with this problem. You can also try using dog boots. Corgis can be funny about their feet, so it's a shot in the dark. But, if you can use them, they help. I keep a…"
Chris, Kadi & Brodie replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion Help! Allergies from grass and pollen"What you are describing is commonly known as 'dew poisoning'. If you can avoid her walking in the grass when there is dew on it, that will greatly reduce her irritation. I know that's hard, but you might try to alter where you walk…"

Hi all,My Meatball has been suffering from allergies from grass and pollen for the past 2 months. I've first noticed this because she was itching her back paws frequently and they looked red and inflamed. We've been to the Vet at least 3 times for allergy shots, allergy drugs, as well as antibiotics and they really help. I also know it's allergies from grass/pollen because the Vet scraped her paw to test for mites but came back negative. And every morning when she comes back from wet grass…See More
Shippo & Gidget replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion When is a good time to switch to adult food?"If it doesn't specify then it's neither and you should switch as soon as you are able to."
Elizabeth Throneberry replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion When is a good time to switch to adult food?"No try should be on regular adult dog food not small breed and you could get away with large breed. Small breed dog food has to much protien for corgis and can make them majorly over weight. Stay away from small breed dog food corgis are considered…"
Jane replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion When is a good time to switch to adult food?"They should be on large breed puppy formula if any (NOT small breed), and then a regular adult food or ALS. The large breed puppy formulas generally have lower protein which helps them grow slower; when puppies grow too fast you can end up with…"
Josh & Butters replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion When is a good time to switch to adult food?"Dang...Butters is 13 months and he's 28 lbs. Wonder if he's overweight...."
Jane replied to Mila & Meatball's discussion When is a good time to switch to adult food?"As others have said I would have switched her a long time ago. Her weight is fine, she will probably still fill out more and add a few pounds as she matures."

Meatball, we would love to meat, I mean Meet, you and Lucy. We live in Laguna Hills. Check out our page. (click on my picture) There are lots of great groups on Mycorgi. Lucy would like honorary corgis, and there is a group for southern CA and another for OC corgies. there is a group for just about anything you can imagine. I hope your human likes taking pictures (there is a photography group) because for sure you want your picture in the awkward little sleepers group. From your friend Snickers
