Diet and itchy paws

Hello,

I have 2 Springers a dog almost 2 and a bitch almost 4.

They have been raw fed since pups until the last few months I have changed them over to Meal for Mutts grain free (chicken and turkey) as my female developed IBS.  They also have 1 or 2 frozen drumsticks and bone broth with green veggies added, daily,.

The IBS has now disappeared and she looks much better and is also a happier girl.

Since starting on MFM they have both dropped weight are very thin, they are both very active, exercised daily, running off lead for 2 hours.

Being underweight isn't the only problem.

The MFM appears not to be agreeing with the male.  He has a bad breath (teeth are clean and no plaque), smelly wind problems and now is licking paws and scratching. He are has a hot spot under his front arm and as of today is limping and has a wet spot between his pads.  He doesn't smell like corn chips..so assuming he is not yeasty.

I really would like to keep them on the same diet.

I am planning on picking up iodine tomorrow and rinsing his paws in it.

Before I take him to the vet, which I am trying to avoid, does anyone have any suggestions?
