Hello doctoleela :- ))

Thank you for answering me !!!

It's a bit long, and I will add any details you feel are needed.
Please pardon my English since it is not my primary language :->

A female, 5 years old intact, long double coat.

Size:
She is very big (72 cm tall, 51 kg).

Nature and preferences:
Prefers cold places.

Sleeps a lot.

Loves to swim and getting wet in general.

Very friendly to humans, especially small children.
Friendly to dogs, a bit reserved with a very big ones.

Fearful of track and buses - noise.

Fast learner, sometimes even to the degree of cunning.

Loves to play but is not possessive of her toys.

Demand attention

Not vocal - barks a few time a day..

Never pull the leash.

Run after cats but never do more then that - the target is the chase only.

Very jealous toward the house cat - especially when her food is served.

Food preference.
Will eat almost anything. Sometimes refuse a banana and lettuce.
prefers to eat sweet things and strong smelling things.

Does not like her dry food but will eat it willingly with supplements.

Health history:

Heat cycle normal but had a few false pregnancies.
Never gave birth.

At 1.5 Y had Ehrlichia canis - treated successfully with antibiotics - Doxilin.

Had a mild ear infection - cleared very fast.

Skin rushes since 2 months of age - manly on stomach. Since then it came and went with some cases of hot spots - on the back of the neck and the left side of the body. One place at the base of the tail usually showed some degree of redness.
Treated successfully with antibiotics and special shampoos. Last two year relatively quiet - used Noni juice and capsules every day with great success.

Current crises.
Started a few weeks before getting into heat got worse just before and then it was weaker during and 2 weeks after. Since then (6 weeks) got worse and worse.
A stale smell accompanied these last occurrences smell is like old oil - some oil on the coat exists and felt on my hand s after patting the coat. High frequency of scratching leads to breaking the skin. In some wounds the skin is dry and crusty, in some wet with a little secretion
Little wound are found all over the top of the body, sides, and start to form on the head. Tail in very infected also. Curiously, the stomach area is completely clean and the skin has a very health color.

Wounds are treated with tea tree oil and a little apple vinegar (1:1 water: vinegar). Treatment is drying the wet lesions but does not stop reoccurrence.

I would also like to notice that she tend to scratch more when not given attention - patting and fondling…

Today, I gave her a blood test and seems the readings are good.


Miscellaneous:
Born to a large litter - do not have details not I think it was a normal birth. In June.

I tried once to breed her - using frozen sperm - she did not become pregnant and it was thought to be the sperm quality was bad - low count.

When growing - (she grow too fast) had problems with her legs - every time a different leg heart.
Was a very clumsy pup - used to fall all the time.

To these days she does not have a perfect movement - rear legs are too narrow from the back and little cow hocked (what some people call - loose hocks).
