Darcy started picking at his feet again yesterday.
The last time he did it, his blood work had elevated white blood cells which indicated bacterial infection, but the vet didn't think they were high enough to prescribe antibiotics (not quite outside of lab ranges), so I used a colloidal silver instead and his feet cleared right up. The vet also found that he is overweight, and thought that was what was causing the picking (I put him on a diet after that).
He started again yesterday, so I started the silver again immediately. So far he is still picking. I made an appointment with a holistic doctor for him this time, so we can see about boosting his immune system.
In the meantime, is there a way I can make the cone of shame at home? I hate seeing my baby hurt himself. He is acting normal, aside from acting like his feet are bothering him.
Any advice would be appreciated.
