So sorry to hear of this suffering. Only thing with water exercise is that if it is in a swimming pool skin will be exposed to chemicals... I would check with the vet first. Maybe ocean or lake water is fine and ocean water may be great for healing!! Depending on your corgis size, maybe she would fit in a bathtub of water and you could do exercises with her. I don't know anything about this except that I have a medical condition that prohibits me from swimming in pools due to the chemical…

Thanks. I'll double check with my vet and dermatologist, but all they have been able to tell me in past is what veggies she can snack on rather than making actual food for them.<br />
<br />
OH, sorry if it is misleading... her foot and leg are healed as far as dry and healthy skin. Her toenails grew back funny and twisted, and looks like she has a little padding back on the bottom of her foot and on what's left of her toes. She is running, playing, and sassy as ever! Never thought I would see that…

Forgot to mention, for patients with neuropathy (from type 2 diabetes), we used hydro-therapy, 3 mins dip in hot water (not burning the skin) 1 min in cold water, repeat up to 15-20 minutes. The sudden hot and cold in temperature promotes blood circulation, it helps the blood flow to places where it was once dead, by day 27, our patients often regain sensitivity to their feet and avoid amputation.

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. Here are my answers:<br />
<br />
1." I REALLY want to learn how to make my own dog food, and with vitamins that are specific to each of my dogs needs. Suggestions?"<br />
<br />
You may want to consult with a real professional nutritionist on this, You want to find someone who is specialize and trained with your unique situation. Over the counter supplements are not 100% safe, besides quality issues, there's also potential of chemical reaction with your prescription.…

2. "Anyone else ever dealt with anything like this before?"<br />
<br />
I'm not aware of any existing members here have been through this, if anyone know someone who have, please respond to this thread.<br />

When I used to work in cardiac rehab years ago, I used to prescribed water aerobics for my patients who cannot exercise with their legs, handicap or on wheelchair. Since the blisters will hurt on a walk, it is important to put the weight off the paws, swimming is your best bet. It will also help speed up the healing. Exercise also help boost the immune system, promote new cell growth.

Sorry to hear about the ordeal you guys had to go through! I don't have any specific advice, but would love to hear what others have to say as well. Our Bryson (*knock on wood*) hasn't experienced any serious illness yet, but he seems to get sick (skin infections, doggie colds, etc) quite often.<br />
<br />
Hope your little girl's doing better, and hope she could become a delta therapy dog some day!

Oh, what exactly are you looking for in making the food? what exactly are you trying to accomplish with it? Do you only want to boos the immune system or other goals with it too?

I will try to do some research and see if i can come up with something. I'm sorry I don't have anything right now. I'm glad things are getting better. You guys are in my thoughts.
