HI there. I have posted before about my dog Dante but I also have some questions about my other dog Charlie. He is approximately 8 years old, we adopted him about 4 years ago. He weighs about 55 pounds, is a mixed breed maybe beagle and min pin and staffordshire terrier. He is neutered and is on a mostly raw diet (gets a little bit of grain free kibble that helped stools not be runny). He has had the standard course of vaccinations up until we adopted him, since then he has only had the rabies vaccine. His BEAM is generally ok, he is a very happy go lucky dog that loves to play but has an insatiable hunger. We limit his food though because he has and will gain weight, he is still probably 5lbs overweight as he has stolen our other dogs meals from time to time as well as food dropped on the floor from our kids. He has good energy levels when prompted but is very happy to lounge about the house also. One strange behavior thing he does is he has a hard time calming down when being pet, he gets very excited. He has been treated twice with antibiotics for recurrent ear infections.
The two main symptoms that are of concern are these wart growths he gets, and the ear infections/allergies that he gets. The warts have popped up on different parts of his body and one I noticed developed after a tick bite on his paw. He had some of the warts before we adopted him. They have a cauliflower sort of appearance, in the photo I attached you can see the biggest one in front of his right ear. I would say he has about 6 total on his body. The one in front of his ear becomes a problem as he will itch his ears and the wart will bleed . We have tried natural symptom relief for his ears such as mullien oil and ACV and coconut oil for the itchiness but have had to resort to antibiotics to temporarily clear the infection. He will also itch other parts of this body, such as his back, underside, scoot on his rear and chew in between his toes. He snores also. Any thoughts about diet, supplements or remedies would be helpful.
Thank you!
