that there isn't food available 24/7, when she is on the bed and can't reach Rudy, but is too afraid to jump off!

Favorite Toy:
anything that Rudy is playing with

Favorite Food:
She eats Wellness Core light grain- free

Favorite Walk:
Any park with lots of grass or mud, at Jason's Doggie Country Camp!

Best Tricks:
We are starting to work on "sit", "come" and "stay", but Izzy is the typical stubborn schnauzer!

Arrival Story:
Izzy became ours when we decided we wanted a sister for Rudy. We went through the same breeder, the Ykelenstam's in P.E.I, and Izzy is Rudy's neice! The breeder chose Izzy knowing Rudy's personality, and hoping to match a puppy that would be of the same temperament. It worked: Izzy is sweet and pleasant, loves to give kisses and is not afraid of people at all. She may be a bit quieter than Rudy, but that's okay. She is also brave and spunky, just like Rudy!

Bio:
Izzy was the third puppy in a litter of four. She settled into our home very nicely, and loves her big sister. Rudy and Izzy play wonderfully together, and are the best of friends. It is amazing how much love you can have for one dog, and then to add another, it's just beautiful!

Forums Motto:
I love you!

The itchie-scratchies return!

I've got a new hot spot on my face again. That makes 7, mommy thinks, and always on my face. I am kept clean and dry around my face,and I can't lick the wound (tongue can't reach - doh!). But I tend to tear at it with my paw and keep making it bleed. Anyhoo, Mommy was trying to treat it with the panalog cream and antibacterial wash the vet gave her last time, but it was spreading, so we had to go back to the vet. The vet was shocked at how fast it happened after my last one. So she told mommy to keep up with the wash and cream, but she added antibiotics too, because it was infected. :( The vet said it is not mommy's fault, and that I could be allergic to anything!

So we have some options. The first thing we are going to do is change my food (gradually). I am on a good food now, Core Wellness Lite, which is a grain-free, no byproduct, chicken-based food. But the vet said she wants me on a fish and potato diet, to see if that will help. She recommended Hill's hypoallergenic food, but we have to check on the fat content. It is 13% fat, which is rather high fat content for a schnauzer. Although I have not had pancreatitis, I am in no hurry to get it! Mommy thinks that Fromm's whitefish and potato food would be better, and that's only 11% fat.

The next option, after changing my food, if that doesn't work after 2 months, is to do allergy testing by blood test and/or a biopsy. We don't want to do this without trying the diet change first, as that might be the root cause and we want to be thorough with this investigation.

Meanwhile, I am now BALD on part of my cheek, the vet had to shave the area to get a good look at the skin. :( I hope Mommy doesn't call me FrankenIzz for long... :( Send healing thoughts our way, dear friends!

love always,
Isabella


ANOTHER hot spot

Mommy thinks she is going to have a nervous breakdown. She says she is definitely as Neeuwrotic as Zaidie's mom, and maybe even Ernie G.'s! She doesn't know what to do any more, I have had 6 or 7 hot spots in my one and a half years, and three since July. They are always on my face. They are usually the size of a nickle, and sometimes as big as a quarter. The vet said next time I had one (and this was in September) that we would have to talk about OTHER options, and said words like allergy testing and biopsy, which made mommy want to go find her ativan. She HATES the thought of her little Izzy (me) being poked at! Of course we have to find out what's wrong with me. But Mommy is out of her mind cause she is doing everything she can, and I'm still getting them! Here is what she has done so far:

1) Switched me to grain-free food, immediately after the pre-requisite puppy food stage

2) Cut out all beef products. The main ingredient in my food is deboned chicken. It is Wellness Core Light.

3) Cut down on treats, and the only human food allowed is cooked chicken, yogourt, rice and popcorn.

4) Washes me with sensitive skin shampoo.

5) Started putting a few drops of apple cider vinegar in my food. I didn't like it at first, but now I don't notice. (The cooked chicken on top is a big help). This is a homeopathic remedy Mommy heard about, and figured she should try.

What else can she do? She knows that when we go to the vet on Thursday, the doc is going to suggest a biopsy. Should we do it?! Mom is extra freaked out, I think, cause it's on my face. She's not tryin' to be vain, cause I'll look like FrankenIzz or somethin', but she's worried about me scratching the wound then, and then another hot spot, or, sossing worse.

Mommy is a BIG worrier. She is also worried about the other Izzy, and Boogie's family, and shelter dogs, and dogs who's pawrents can't afford vet bills, and her thesis, and money, and...

STOP IT MOMMY! You're givin' me a headache with all that spinnin'.

Mommy needs advice pls. Write soon, friends.
love Izzy


Itchies

I have the itchies. I have been scratching and scratching at that hot spot, and even though the antibiotics made it mostly better, my skin is red and inflamed around my cheek. Mommy put the vet ointment on it, but it was not helping. She finally decided to take me back to the vet, and the vet agreed that it was best that we treat the itching with prednisone. I am going to be on it for two weeks. I really hope it works because I am so uncomfortable and Mommy can't stand to see me suffer!!!
