boston Terrier Fur loss on back of ears ONLY;

Question
My Boston Terrier is losing fur on back of his ears. That is the only place. We had him to the vet. They done blood work and scraping. They gave him Panolog Ointment to put in his ears and prescribed Novo Lexin. We can tell that he scratches it sometimes. He is playful, eating okay but the fur is still coming off slowly on back of his ears. Just spent over $200. at the vet, please help!!!

Thank-you

Answer
Hi Sherry, Bostons tend to have this problem... Most of the time it is genetic or allergies.
Glad you did see the vet for a skin scrape!  Now, let's try some natural options for this Boston Terrier kid....

1.  Give 1 teaspoon of Pure salmon oil per day : must be Grizzley Brand or Yummy Chummies brand of oil - mix into food each day ( just 1 x per day )  LONG term...
GREAT for skin and coat

2.  Start this baby on 1 NuVET wafer per day - long term : NuVET helps with hair/fur re-growth and reduces any inflammation related to allergies.  ( Could be Environmental allergy....)
NuVET comes in : 20.00; 39.00; and 55.00 bottles
Call in and get your bottle -  use Discount Code 81098 on All Call-Ins....
Talk to the gals, they are great!   1-800-474-7044

3.  HOW about a grain-free dog food:  Check out the link to a number of Quality Grain-free foods ... Mix your old food and ANY new food at a 50:50 mix for 2 weeks.... ( change over slowly to avoid loose stools...
