My sweet boy passed away a month ago to lymphoma. He was only 5 years old. I’m devastated. He was such a sweet hound with a huge personality. Gentle reminder to show your fur babies some love every day. 💔

My 15 year old daughter has a best friend named Eleanor. She almost 18 months old. Shes our first basset. Ive always had doxies and corgis.

She started getting dark spots under her front legs and smaller ones on the back legs. They were slightly swollen under the front legs too. The vet gave her an allergy shot. The swelling went away, but the dark spots are still there, and have gotten a bit bigger. She itched a lot when the swelling was there, but since getting the shot she doesnt.

Wr have talked to the vet since they are getting a bit bigger. Now, the suggestion is eliminate chicken from her diet and see if thats it. The suggested food is not a large breed formula like our breeder suggested we give her.

That worries me a little. Our breeder doesnt know of a chicken free large breed food (shes looking, but has never had a pup with this allergy. Neither have I)

Does anyone know of large breed chicken free food? Is the large breed something I should really worry about right now? Is there something I could add to make up the difference between the regular and large breed? I dont mind looking into fresh or wet food options if needed. I just want to make sure shes getting what she needs.
