alot of problems are caused by vaccines...he has also been on antibotics.....first off i would add some yogurt and probitics to his diet to get the good bacteria going...alot was destroyed with the antibotics..... give his system time to build up a a good immune system.....go to grain free food or even better a raw diet....
hope this helps a little

But I stopped because my girl with allergies started having ear infections and IDC's. I'm trying Nature's Variety Venison right now and she seems a little better but, it's too early to tell if this food will work for her or not.

I've heard that Simplicef (antibiotic) works well for staph infections.

He was on meds for cold. the vet said it should clear up the infection. I am not changing anything until I take him back to the vet in 2 weeks for his kennel cough vaccine. I don't have pictures cause for some reason I can't seem to post on here after signing up to post pictures a few times...they are not black spots though. Red and light pink, the look a lot like pimples. I like the idea about having the vet look further into the staph infection to see exactly what it is and what is causeing it. he is doing really well right now except for his infection, its not bad but still I want it taken care of.

if the food tolerance issue is in question, and changing it on a healthy dog is problematic enough, you will want to get rid of the staph infection FIRST. Doing a C&S (culture and sensitivity test which takes about 7-10 days to get results from) will define what exactly the infection is, and what medication or medications are best for this particular infection...it can end up saving you time and frustration of trial-n-error in figuring out where the problem lies.

Does the food you are feeding contain grains? Sometimes that is what causes the allergies.
After having an allergic dog and dealing with skin issues for years I learned from his dermatologist that you want to use a single source protein. I have always fed my dogs Natural Balance Duck and Potato, and they did well on that. The puppy that I currently have could not tolerate the Duck, I assume, because it gave him very soft stools. I have since switched to Natural Balance Fish and Potato with very good results. It may take you trial and error to find the food that works the best for your dog.

I am wondering if you did a culture on the staph infection?

Tessie had one and we had her on cephalexin for 2 months of and on because realizing we needed to do a staph culture to find the right medication to kick the staph infection out of her system.

but it is not for puppies under 1 year. My Friday (Cocker Spaniel) has staph infections and she is doing very well on Core along with her Staph Lystate injections. Amazingly well I must say!

Funny you should mention Prairie......this past weekend I was out with a friend and she needed to get food for her bulldog who is allergic to so many things you find in dog food. We actually encountered a Prairie salesperson who helped us. My friend picked out the venison and her bully is doing very well on it. No major allergy attacks immediately after eating so we are hoping that we eliminated her food problem. Seems like a good food....

Good Luck!
