"OK - Here's a new one for us. Freddie will be 3 on May 3. He has recently 
Developed rusty looking underarms. A couple months back we tried to switch 
Foods and after a few weeks I decided he wasn't responding as well as with
the 
Nutro. Well, he still has the rusty pits and its been probably a month 
Since we stopped the other food. Any ideas on how to clear that up? "

at your animal supply as to what medications they can recommend.
