Hi Silvia, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. First, if he is an allergic dog, you need to get him off the Science Diet and on to an allergy formula dog. More importantly, if he is an epileptic dog, you MUST get him off the Science Diet. He needs to be on a totally grain, gluten, soy & dairy free diet. All of these items are known triggers for epi dogs (I, too, have an epi dog).

I would venture a guess that if you change him over to a good food, you'll see a WORLD of difference in his skin & ear conditions. I feed Natural Balance sweet potato/fish, they also make a potato/duck formula, both of which are totally grain free. Please check out this K9 epilepsy site: www.canine-epilepsy.com Without this site and it's members, I would have been completely lost on how to help my Ricky (epi dog).

Also, when a staph infection has progressed to the stage that your baby's has, it generally takes at minimum a 3 week (usually longer) course of antibiotics to get it completely wiped out.

I sure hope this helps you some. Feel free to email me directly if you have any questions about K9 epilepsy.
