I have Daisy on an antihistimine twice a day and a steroid pill every other day. My hope is to get her down to a steroid pill twice per week. Don't know if I can do that or not but that is my goal. I have been cooking for all of them and it is labor intensive. I found a limited ingredient kibble made in Lubbock, Texas by Merrick. I will be trying that starting tonight. I really hope it works. It is their Roasted Duck and Sweet Potato recipe. I will keep homemade in the freezer just in case and if it works, as a treat for them. Can't wait till I can get Hempstead watermelon. All of them love watermelon. And blackberries. I have planted blackberry vines in the back. Hopefully, I will start getting fruit this summer. Also, I am going to try growing a couple of blueberry bushes. Those will be grown in pots as the soil here is not acid enough for blueberries. If I can grow most of my ingredients, then they will be much better off.
I was also told that Jock's problems with his anal glands was probably due to a food allergy. So hopefully this new food will agree with him as well.
Had to treat Duncan again for whipworms. I just can't seem to get rid of them in him. The others have never tested positive for them, but he had them when he came and I cannot let up on the panicure treatments or he gets really sick. The treatment is three days, three weeks, three months. Poor little guy. He may have had a lousy first half of his life, but he is living like royalty now. In the mornings, after they come inside and while I am fixing their food, he goes back to bed. When I get it ready, I have to come and get him and carry him to the kitchen. I should have it so easy.
