I have a rescue husky who was originally on a raw meat and milk diet. He has had poor appetite, intermittent GI issues, ear infections, chin lesions, and an upper respiratory infection since I got him. My vet tested his pancreas, fecal test, and Addison's disease, all of which were clear. He has been on various medications and probiotics to improve his appetite and GI health. I am considering switching him to a human diet but need advice on how to ensure he gets proper nutrition and how to manage his ongoing health issues, including his skin lesions and ear infections.
