Perro is improving – but slowly. He is better in himself and is a happy little dog now. His sore patches are healing but his skin is still inflamed in places. We’ve had dogs in before with similar skin problems, although not quite so thin, and have found that a holistic diet is one of the main aids to recovery. Perro likes oily fish and is taking all his dietary supplements well. Dorwest Herbs have an excellent range of herbal vitamins for skin conditions and he’s having these every day together with herbs and olive oil – it’s a mediterranean diet for Perro – minus the red wine! Keeping him off additives is important so he has only natural chew sticks and nothing with colours or preservatives.. Perro is having a completely natural and organic diet to get rid of the toxins in his body and help his skin get in better shape. It’s a slow process but he is getting better. It may take several months or even longer to get him back to full health. He’s put a bit of weight on but again this is a slow process because he is so very run down. I wish he’d keep a coat on but the little rascal is a houdini and can get out of any sort of fastener. He’s enjoying little walks and the fact that he is starting to be a bit mischievous is a good sign of him getting back to normal.
Thank you to everyone who has brought him sardines and mackerel – more please! It is much appreciated and our thanks also for the Pound for Perro donations for his care. We still have a long way to go and it is a great help for this affectionate little dog. Many, many thanks. [donate]
