My cojack is allergic to many things. The best thing we did was allergy testing. Once we found a food that worked his skin cleared. No chicken, no corn, no fish, and on the list goes. Grass is also a no no, so we have to walk only in the street. He goes on grass to potty and that's it. He is a funny little guy, we adore him. Another friend also has a cojack and has some of the same issues. I would not recommend this combo continue to be bred. Mine is a rescue because the previous owner wouldn't deal with all these issues. Good luck...your vet will appreciate you financing her child's college education :) My cojack is allergic to many things. The best thing we did was allergy testing.

Good luck...your vet will appreciate you financing her child's college education :) Hi.I got a Cojack too,a rescue.Best dog! Consider changing his diet. Most dog food has a lot of chemicals in them in the shape of food colouring etc.Could you cook for him(very simple food,no spices)every few days? I also give mine a teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil(in jars,easily available on the net,not that expensive)daily.I use Simple shower gel when having to bathe him,no perfume/colouring.That's what I do and it is worth a try.Good luck. I have had my Cojack only 4 weeks now, got him at 16 months old. He seems to scratch a bit, he is pink under the feet, and alittle around the mouth. I give him a 'Polaramine' a day or when he scratches more than usual, and he seems very happy after 30 minutes. You can get them at the pharmacy over the counter. I used it previously on my Jack Russell, and eventually the itching stopped. Its an anti hystamine. My vet told me about it. I made a comment below in regards to using 'polar-amine' anti histamine, it works on my dog, 1 a day, I wrap it in a tiny bit of cheese, swallows no problem, I have cut out all chicken, beef, lamb, make sure to check biscuits and treats as well, clear the pantry....and only give him cooked kangaroo, and horse meat....cook 60-40-40 meat, veg, rice, he loves it, and has stopped most of the scratching...search web for recipes. I have a Cojack named Reggie. He has had some skin allergies...constant chewing until it bleeds! He is on grain-free food...it seems to have done the trick! Fur has grown back and no scratching...yay! |
