Paws up to Max and Ruffy’s..
Itching, scratching, and rubbing… Oh No!
Have you ever noticed your dog licking his paws, scratching his face or ears a bit too much? If so, did you know that these can be allergy symptoms? Yep! Who knew?! We been watching Chunyo struggle with this recently so we went to the vet to get to the bottom of it.
After several tests and an ear cleaning – the vet told us that Chunyo has an ear infection, yeast in his paws, and possible skin infection – all of which can be related to allergies. Ugh!!! Poor thing! After receiving his antibiotic shot (a little more expensive but better than 3 weeks of pills 2xs a day), we walked out with our hands full – a prescription to control the itching, ear drops for his infection and a special shampoo to soothe his irritated skin and paws. Oh did I forget to mention the big bill?! Yeah, let’s hope we get a decent reimbursement from his insurance. But of course, the most important thing is that our lil guy feels better soon 🙂
So what’s Chunyo allergic to? Yeah, well we don’t know EXACTLY but it is quite possible that it is peanut butter! So SAD about this! Remember those peanut butter treats that he loved so much. Sadly, he might be allergic to them 😦 So NO more of those peanut butter treats for him. Too bad, he LOVED them. Hopefully other pooches can enjoy them even if Chunyo can’t.
Does your dog have allergies? Any suggestions for us?

Chilly Bones – Gone in a Flash
The pink part is great because it makes it easier to take the frozen bones out.
We used left over peanut from the organic peanut butter from treats we made for Chunyo. We used half of a small container of organic plain yogurt instead of vanilla yogurt.
This is what the mix looked like. I ended up adding just a little more yogurt than I expected. I do get curious about Chunyo’s taste buds sometimes, so I tried a bit. Human opinion: Good – not that my opinion is what matters 🙂
Walaa!! Dog’s verdict: Delicious! Bone gone in a flash….
