I have a younger Pyr, but can empathize with your concern. I'm sorry
that I can't offer any information, as my Pyr is only approaching 6 years.
I was caught by your statement regarding her allergies and the homemade food you
provide. How did the allergies manifest? Was it related to her
skin? The reason I ask is that my boy was diagnosed with general pyoderma
(general skin infection due to some sort of staph bacteria). He developed
many sores on his body and we had them biopsied with the above diagnosis being
the result. He was on antibiotics for 6 weeks and there continue be a few
new sores. Maybe this is some type of reaction to an allergen? Any
one else have any thoughts? By the way, I will not go to a raw meat
diet.
Thanks,
Christine
