Meeker's Daily Menu

31 Oct 2006Steve Schwarz

Ever since I adopted Meeker he has had dry and itchy skin. Nancy recommended I add coconut oil to his diet and his skin isn’t dry anymore and he is growing a nice soft coat. He was diagnosed and treatd for a Staph skin infection a couple times though and received anti biotic treatments. He now has a different skin infection that I am treating. Our regular vet has referred Meeker to a Dermatologist to try to find out what is going on. As part of that I needed to put together a list of all the foods he eats and the soaps etc we use to wash him.

Meeker gets almost the same menu as Milo. The table below lists his total daily intake split over two meals. Of course I am not recommending anyone else try these supplements at these or any other levels without consulting with their veterinarian or nutritionist. Some of these vitamins and supplements can cause diarrhea at our dog’s dosages; they have built up to these levels over time.

Taking the time to write up a list like this is useful for other reasons too. It can be helpful when you visit your veterinarian or a specialist and they need to check for interactions with other medications.
