If you leave a comment I appreciate it! But, youtube is being glitchy and I'm not able to see all comments. They say they are working on the problem. If I don't respond to your comment it's most likely because it has disappeared from my view. Hopefully I will be able to see it soon.
Tlaquepaque! It probably has changed...we loved to go there any chance we had. We had our area where to park and one day we arrived and oh surprise! That street was now closed to traffic! It was now just for walking. I new all the stores! Just memories and lots of things I bought...
Tlaquepaque looks colorful, artistic, and so beautiful! I’m planning to move to Mexico in the next year or two, and Jalisco is first on my list to visit (later this year) in my upcoming scouting trips. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys!
Thanks for your comment! There are many wonderful places and Mexico is a big country. Plus, it's fun to explore! I'm headed towards Guanajuato after this.
¡Hola Mora y bienvenida a Jalisco!! I moved to Guadalajara eight months ago and I also brought my pup with me. After finishing the dog food I brought from the US, I started her on a high-quality dog food. In the end, it was not the right food for her because she ended up having some significant health issues. I found an excellent Vet in Guadalajara, and my girl has fully recovered. I don't know if you have had to change food up or not. I know you are south of here, but if you need a great vet who is very affordable, let me know. Hoping your pup is feeling better soon!! 💕
Thank you so much Wendy! I'm happy to say that currently Viggo is fine with no recurrence of his skin issue. I'm glad your pup has recovered too. What was in the food that caused her problems? We have moved on from the area, so if I need another vet I will have to ask for recommendations wherever we are. How do you like Guadalajara??
@@MoraMargaret Hi Mora! The food that caused issue was: Natural Gourmet Receta Carne y Frutos del Bosque. The food the vet put her on is: Pro Plan Optiderma Sensitive Skin Alimento Seco Receta Salmón y Arroz. Which has cleared up all kinds of issues. As far as Guadalajara, I am really enjoying it. It was not what I was expecting, all the same, the people, culture, weather and food are fantastic! I live close to Bosque Los Colomos, so lots of trees and green which is a must for me. I subscribed to your channel, and I am looking forward to seeing where you visit in México next. ¡¡Un abrazo para ti y caudate!!
Gracias! I will keep that food in mind if I have to change dog food. The trees and green are a must for me too! I guess I'm old because climate and geography are so important to me. Ha ha
My dog used to have that problem often. The vet advised to never leave him wet or humid. After a bath he needs to be immediately dried with a hair dryer. And they shouldn´t go into lakes or any standing water that you don´t know if it´s clean or not. He was given Omegas for a few months ( animal grade) as well as a special soap that really did the trick. We also have a human ointment that we keep on hand that helps it heal. That was also advised by our vet in Guadalajara. AND we were also asked to switch dog food. It´s also best to find a vet that will do a test on the area to make sure they know what it is and how to treat it.
I have been enjoying your videos very much, especially the ones from Mexico..."it is important to give yourself some grace in a new environment....go slow"..great advice for life....
Good suggestions about driving. You can get a Mexican driver’s license There is a class at the Lake Chapala Society. I love Tlaquepaque. Good find rental
That's good info about the class at LCS, thank you. I just looked at your channel! You have so many videos about the area! Really nice. Where do you live?
@@MoraMargaret Hi. I like your videos. Currently I’m at my home in the Detroit area. Where I’ll rent in Mexico next remains to be seen. Maybe Jocotepec or Guadalajara. Or another region in Mexico. Not sure yet. Please look at Description of channel. Also lessons at American Legion in Chapala. I took a few lessons in San Miguel de Allende years ago ago and practice and learn different ways What town is that nice rental in ?
@@MoraMargaret Thanks. Just noticed this. I have a home and am currently in the USA however I’ll be returning to Mexico soon at some point I’ve lived in SMA for 6 months a few years ago and Ajijic for a few years and then Chapala for almost a year. I really enjoy your videos. Your narration is superb and your camera moves so fluidly. Thanks for your videos. I also saw your videos from the USA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Keep his fur clipped short and avoid direct sunlight as much as you can. It is the humidity for sure. A/C dehumidifies so maybe a small unit for his sleeping area? Good luck
Thank you! He hasn't had a problem since we moved into the cooler mountains. I'd like to cut his hair, just to keep him cleaner, but he doesn't want me to and squirms away. Eventually we'll visit the coast, but this time I'll make sure we have AC :)
I enjoy watching your dogs and your videos, and am paying close attention to your observations. Regarding skin issues in dogs, have you thought about changing their food? For another reason, I had to change one of my dogs' food and treats. Through reading about food reactions, I remember many skin issues being reported as solved through diet. Please keep making your videos, I respect your perceptions and philosophies.
Thanks you! Viggo hasn't had a skin issue for months so I think it had to do with the heat and humidity. We got to cooler areas, and I've been giving him fish oil (recommended by the vet) and he's been fine. Thanks for your comment :)
I’m not sure if what Vigo had was like a fungal infection but my dogs have had something similiar in Costa Rica and we used a little vinegar with water if it wasn’t too far along or some betametazona cream but I’m sure the dermatologist has recommended what they think is best.
Hey Mora, I was just wondering if you have a stripping comb for your dogs? I had a collie that I had to use that with on his coat to thin it. He also had gotten a few hot spots. He had to wear a cone while topical antibiotics were on the spot. Another time he had an oral antibiotic. Sadly the heat can simply be tough on certain breeds of dogs and it seams like it’s going to be the new norm. You can also buy cooling pads for the dogs to lay on. Especially for driving in the car. I also bought window screens for the seats. Really made a difference with the hot sun coming in.
Thank you so much for this information! I've got a brush for the dogs but Viggo's coat is the thickest I've ever seen. I'll have to get a stripping comb. And a cooling mat. I've been freezing damp towels for them to lay on. He seems to have an extreme inflammatory response and it doesn't stop until the shots from the vet. I'm adding omega 3 fish oil to his diet too. Hopefully we can avoid more hot spots.
Mora, Dr.Antonio Ladron de Guevara at Clinica Ladron de Guevara in Guadalajara is the best vet I have ever found. Antigua de Mexico in Tlaquepaque on the pedestrian street is a store not to be missed, also try Nieves Chapalita , great ice cream on Juarez street. I recommend a visit to Galeria Sergio Bustamante as well
Hi Mora, just saw your video and welcome to Tlaquepaque! I live in Guadalajara about 20 minutes from you and am retired, have lived here for 7 years. If you would like to visit El Centro in GDL, let me know and I'd be happy to show you the sites! I also have a great vet in GDL is you continue to need more treatment for Vigo!
Thank you so much! How do you like Guadalajara to live? You must like it if you've been there 7 years. I just went to Centro today. It's so impressive. I love the beautiful buildings and markets!
@@MoraMargaret I absolutely love living in GDL! This city has such a rich cultural heritage, gorgeous buildings and parks, and the warmth of the people! I was extremely fortunate to find a lovely Spanish Colonial home which I rent and I’m able to walk daily to complete my shopping at multiple mercados as well as tiny specialty shops, I love this city!
Concerning your fur babies, it may be anxiety, they have a medicine for that treatment. but check for parasites, I don't believe that's the case , but it's good to tick the box off of possible ailments.
Thank you! He hasn't had a problem in a couple of months, thanks to heaven. I'm pretty convinced it was the intense heat. But if it happens again I will investigate. Thanks for your comment.
I'm curious about the weather there...I'm currently in Puerto Vallarta and had been planning to escape the Humid Heat... currently I have seen people shaving there dogs even short haired...they look kinda Funny but they are cooler🍀
We came from the coast, near Barra de Navidad, and the decrease in humidity was noticeable! Still pretty hot, but as they say it's a dry heat, so it's more comfortable.
Yes, it became my favorite town in the area by the time I left. Sweet people, cute town, and really clean. If I was going to live in the Chapala area I would live there.
Hi., mix 20 %...tar and 80%.. cream and apply once a day., if it come do it again...no cortisone cream please.. posible is eczema.. Walk and play with the dog.

Vigo has an incredibly expressive face and eyes. 💕 you can really tell when he’s unwell vs well. Glad he’s feeling better.
It's so true! Thank you, me too. He's a very happy boy!
Tlaquepaque looks colorful, artistic, and so beautiful! I’m planning to move to Mexico in the next year or two, and Jalisco is first on my list to visit (later this year) in my upcoming scouting trips. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys!

Another well made video. Beautiful town. Thank you. I hope Vigo heals soon
He's currently doing much better, thank you!
This is where my father was born. Got to go there a coupe of times. Loved it.
Me too! Cool your father has history there.
Beautiful pups! Thanks for the tour!💟
Our pleasure!
So happy to hear that Vigo is on the mend!🐶
Thank you! I'm so glad too.

Viggo is on the Omegas per the vet's instruction. If you think of the name of the soap and ointment I'd be interested to know :)

Thanks your pet is better take care of yourself and happy day...
You are so kind, thanks for your comment!
I always end up in that restaurant too.
Beautiful town and love your home. The original walls and tiles are very cool.
They are! This is only my temporary home, a rental. But we (me and the dogs) have really enjoyed it. Very peaceful!
use sábila to clean the infected zone and remove with a clean clothe, that'd help him. you´ll see
Thanks for the tip! I will keep it in mind if he develops a problem again.
Love your videos ❤😊, Im moving to Mexico pretty soon

I’m sure you have.. but some good baths with some quality medicated shampoo and dried thoroughly with a cool blowout will help.

Did you bring your car into Mexico? New subscriber, Great content!
Thank you. Yes, I brought my own car to Mexico from Oregon. Thanks for your comment!
@@MoraMargaret I am in Louisiana, much closer! I am looking into trading in, I have an Altima! Not a smart road trip car! lol, best wishes to you!
Thank you. I don't know what's the best road trip car but probably not my old Lexus either! Best wishes to you too :)
I always do peroxide and castor oil for hot spots with great success but I’ll always get someone in the comments saying it’s bad for dogs. Smh
I haven't heard about that remedy. Thanks for the tip!
What town is the apartment located in? Thanks
Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos
@@MoraMargaret I’m happy for you. Nice apartment. Quiet relaxed town. I’ve been there many times Only 5 miles from Chapala. I thought of moving there.
Take a ride in the moto taxis. A lot of fun and very inexpensive.
Yes, it became my favorite town in the area by the time I left. Sweet people, cute town, and really clean. If I was going to live in the Chapala area I would live there.
Hi., mix 20 %...tar and 80%.. cream and apply once a day., if it come do it again...no cortisone cream please.. posible is eczema.. Walk and play with the dog.
Thanks for the tip. If it happens again I want a skin biopsy so we know what we're dealing with. What do you mean by tar?
There's a lot of Americans that live in Mexico, for the cost of living, cheap in all
True, but I'm finding it's not always cheap, depending on where you go. Headed to San Miguel de Allende soon. I've heard that's not cheap!
What????Kids play outside instead of playing video games in the house all day?
