His dorsal midline breaks out in open scabs and sores and he will not allow his owner to touch him as he is so uncomfortable. Skin actually twitches in discomfort.
I have given him 2 fecal transplants since meeting him 1 mth ago. We have been able to decrease his Apoquel from 4 tabs to 2, but no further. The owner spends close to $700/month on meds and Vet visits. She is willing to do whatever she can to heal him. He is raw fed - I recommended bison or elk for now. He uses Zymox on occasion as his ears flare up as well. Presently he has a swollen raised sore on his right lip that appears to be progressing, now sore to touch.
From a TCVM perspective, he has moderately toned pulses (not taut, nor slippery), his tongue is lavendar pink, flabby. He is such a sweet boy! A true gentleman and easy to work with. He is not good with other dogs however, just great with people (he's intact). His coat at present is healthy, no dander, but he does have a generalized yeasty odour suggesting Damp Heat (yet SMS and CSWLT did not help him).
I am at my wits end as I want to help this poor boy! Any thoughts would be SO APPRECIATED!!!
