Why is my dog's skin healing slowly despite medicated baths?

Question

Skin problems: scratches & nibbles random spots on his back & bottom. We give him medicated baths; started using a antiseptic spray & he gets a high protein diet (Blue Buffalo's Wilderness dry food) with tbs of yogurt & pumpkin. It helped his appetite & he loves it. Kojo is healing slow and his stool is good with the new regimen.. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 50 lbs

Hi there. Poor Kojo! It sounds like you're headed in the right direction for recovery though. Healing slowly is normal when you're tackling a chronic skin condition as it seems you are. If your pup is making progress and seems to love his new diet, I encourage you to keep doing exactly what you're doing, and just wait it out. I know it's frustrating and time consuming waiting for a good result-but it sounds like you're a good pup parent, and I commend you. Hang tough and you should continue to see more slow improvements!
