Hi Nikki. I adopted a dog that appeared to have a similar skin condition many years ago. No tick-related illnesses that I was aware of. My veterinarian recommended that I add omega 3 fatty acids to his diet. For what it's worth, it did the trick!

[@sheilabartlett6044]

My dog lost a lot of hair (thinning )has allergies my vet told me Omega 3 and vitamin E. Her hair is thick now.

[@lindaknight-archer414]

Try Camelina oil, three Omegas and good for the hair coat.

[@TimHayward]

Do Rodney and minion have the same condition?

[@NikkiDelventhal]

I love this! It seems the permanent patches were tick but since he got off his McDonald’s diet and on raw his coat is getting soooo much better!!! Thank you!

[@Shinarydk]

@@NikkiDelventhal If you keep an eye on his coat and hairloss it can also be cause by skinmites that eat the hairfolicoles. In that case the same medicine that you use for flees and ticks can help. I hope he is doing better. They dogs are so cute and you're great with them.

[@chuyocaca4153]

Nikki you are very Likeable. love that you are a free soul and have two wonderful bodyguards by your side. Keep on hitting the road! and pray you always stay safe out there.🤠

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank you!🥰

[@patriciariddle2997]

I'm so happy for Rodney. Every dog deserves a good life. And Camper is a great big brother.

Thank you!!!

[@MLenninger]

Getting Rodney "fixed" at the veterinarian had a whole 'nother conotation!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Haha I realize this now 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@paxwallace8324]

Camper has that deep gratitude towards you that many rescue dogs have. I believe he's so happy to have you as leader of the pack. So he's not gonna sneak treats.

[@lelandstronks319]

Niki love your dogs, in doing so please refrain from letting Rodney from riding in your lap. A few years ago I saw a traffic accident when I came to help, I saw that the woman in the driver’s seat was okay, but the dog she had in her lap was killed (broken neck). The air bag had released and well it was tragic. Happy travels with your doggie family. 🥰🤗

[@SRtruth]

Good advice!

[@saltysailor141]

I’m an ups driver and agree with your advice. I’ve seen the results of that choice. Ugly. That’s all I will say about it. For both animal and human.

[@katekaos]

100% agree and always cringe when I see dogs loose in vehicles or off leash in public. Seatbelt harnesses and crates are MUCH safer!

[@jakelesnake]

@@katekaos honestly she can be a huge idiot sometimes, I definitely feel like Rodney was a mistake for her to adopt. she cut her available dog food supply in half by adding another mouth to feed, now has 2 dogs to look out for and Rodney doesn't even look like he wants to be there half the time. He's happiest moments are in the van comfy, he's a lap dog and deserves a nice big house. It honestly felt pretty selfish of her to adopt him considering her cramped conditions and lifestyle.

[@katekaos]

@@jakelesnake I’m sure he’s in better hands with her than wherever he was before. I think he was in that Utah shelter. But yes it’s hard to have bigger dogs in a van full-time. She gives them a lot of love but wish she was safer with them while driving and outside. There are a lot of predators and daytime attacks nowadays.

[@debramccormick4419]

I love that you're such a great role model. You make making a salad look so easy and have motivated me to make them more regularly. Thank you!

[@bulltastik]

Camper starting the engine w/the shot of his paw near the starter button was cute 🥰 🐾

[@celestemarie9285]

I used to live in Reno and this video made me so happy seeing clips of my old home. Send you and the fur babies love💚

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Love, back!

[@along4theride]

Our German shepherd was losing hair on the tips of her ears and was scratching all over. I started eliminating “people” food I was guilty of giving her (mainly the ends of our sourdough bread) and the itching stopped and after a couple months the hair grew back.

[@IamAutumn_]

“Whole Paycheck” 😂 ❤ that, I’m stealing it

[@lornagoodman1891]

I was laughing so hard when she said that 🤣

[@NikkiDelventhal]

I mean, it’s not wrong 😂

[@scooterbuck7501]

I am constantly amazed by your editing skills, as well as your ability to "frame" a shot. You are indeed growing as a cinematic artist.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thanks!

[@apj341]

Setting up a camera inside a Home Depot is true dedication 😁

[@powerofthetrident7940]

​@@NikkiDelventhal they don't look like pajamas in the beginning of the video

[@NikkiDelventhal]

@@apj341haha it’s always so awkward 😂

[@kbenk108]

Watchin others live out of a van is a step in the right direction but I urge everyone to actually experience it for atleast 3 weeks. Its life changing. Your whole consciousness (sense of awareness) changes for the better.

[@markofdistinction6094]

When I travel in my motor home, I always keep an eye out for water, dump stations and overnight places to stay, even when I don't need it. Then I record it in my GPS and in a log book for future reference. Over the years I have compiled a long list of places.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

SAME! Haha! That list is so darn valuable! Lol

[@FreedomRock44]

Did you have one for RENO for NIKKI????? haha.

[@magencorrie]

Hi from Reno! Just wanted to drop in and say I love watching you and your dogs. It's become a ritual for me and my 3 yr old to watch your videos on Fridays. We've been going through a hard time the last month, so having a video to look forward to on Fridays has helped a lot. Thank you for being so kind and genuine. Also, I know Cyan Park in South Reno has a wonderful dog park, and I believe you can park there overnight (but double-check on that since I'm not 100% sure). I wish you all the best.

[@gracieg7601]

That cute blonde dog looks like he knew she was looking for water. Cute babies.

[@ralphcramden9775]

I love your attitude and you have an addictive smile. Thank you for making my day brighter. 😊

[@jonloeber7057]

It is really cool to see how happy Rodney is, great name by the way.Thanks for giving he and Camper a loving and fun life, you're good people

[@LisaRichter92]

Vet tech here 👋🏻 worked in dermatology. Did you see a dermatologist? There’s a condition we commonly see in poodles, but any breed can have it, called sebaceous adenitis. It doesn’t look exactly like it, but hard to say. Vasculitis of some sort, maybe. He should have a derm take a biopsy of one of those lesions to confirm what’s going on. I wouldn’t have anyone but a derm do it - they know how to select the best spots to sample. Hope you get some answers!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Omg thank you for reaching out! I did see a derm! We did a scrape and a skin punch test! Bingo on the extreme vasculitis, they said the scarring is so deep! They said perhaps the tick illnesses are hitting hard so we’re trying that and it seems to be happening less and less so let’s hope! Thanks for the input this is so helpful!

[@LisaRichter92]

@@NikkiDelventhal ah, excellent, so glad you saw a derm! Now the question can be if the vasculitis is from the tick bites themselves or the tick-borne disease since both can cause it - I guess if he was getting new lesions those would be from the tick-borne disease. He is seeing the best folks to treat him for it. Glad he’s having less issues with it!

[@CoolBreezeWyndi]

Hey, I just found your channel on this video...love it! Several years ago a friend bought me a portable jump start kit that fits in my glove box and I can jump my own battery whenever and wherever I am. It also has ports for your other charge cords in case you need to charge other devices with the battery pack. And, they have flashlights built in

[@terenzo50]

Rodney is just too cute for words and Camper is the best pal ever! Stay safe with your two noodles!

[@stevenmcnoltyii4973]

I've experienced the hair loss several times with rescue and foster dogs. Every time, after ruling or other conditions from the vet, we turned to a grain and legume free diet. Often, a raw diet from the local meat market of liver, hearts, etc. have the fastest/best results.

[@WilliamBeadle-tp9lf]

I love camp and Rodney

[@user-df8ev3rb1j]

I always look forward to your videos on Friday I just love to see where you’re at and what you’re doing thanks for all the good adventures and all the good times you have given me

[@user-qn7ep4qc1s]

G'day Nikki, Michelle here from beautiful Jervis Bay in Australia. It's actually 5.55am Saturday 17th as I text this, so Good Morning! I have been a HUGE fan of yours since your Prius days and remain loyal to your channel as you are the greatest ❤ antidepressant ever!!! One of my most fave vids was when you climbed a massive tree and slept up there. "Wild thang, you make my heart sing!" Good to see home depot hasn't changed it's PAWlicy 😂 Little Rodney is gorgeous and besotted with you! Who wouldn't be, you are heaps of fun!! On a more serious note, my cat used to have patches of hair loss on his head. I popped into a vet for a quick chat at front desk and she said, make a weak tea like solution of Betadine liquid and water and with cotton wool dab it on the bald patches. It totally cleared up and never returned. Do it regularly. Just in a little cup add say a tsp of betadine, then just a bit of water to form a weak tea solution. Saturate cotton wool and dab on regularly, hopefully it's in a place he can't lick easily. Cortisone should be avoided if possible. The vet I saw agreed. Anyway beautiful woman, keep smiling😃 and keep cutting those carrots like a playboy bunny 😂 Stay safe and happy! Big squeezy hugs for our favourite boy Campy - my nickname for him. What an amazing friend you have in him. The magical still shots you have with you and Camp together are just awesome! I have never been to the USA, so it's been a joy to see your beautiful country through your eyes and armchair travel - well usually I'm horizontal 😂 See you Nik on the next one. These Emojis are a bit addictive ❤🎉❤🎉

[@BigV96220]

hi fellow Aussie i to am a huge fan of Nikki an been following her and saw the video when her mum an d herself where hiking in Mexico and found Camper I being a dog lover was as happy as pig in poo when Nikki and her mum decided to rescue and keep camper ,SHE IS ABSOULTLEY A BEAUTIFUL SOUL,dont you agree and a The Bestest Channel🙌from me V West Aussie 🥰

[@user-qn7ep4qc1s]

​@venettamacdonald4017 Hello Venetta, 👋 🇦🇺 Fellow Australian, I certainly do agree that Nikki has a warm heart and is a happiness magnet. Camper and Rodney are two of the luckiest dogs in the world to land themselves such a great caring human Mom! I also love the doggy welfare work Nikki does behind the scenes. Helping dogs find their forever families. Nikki is absolutely a very special woman indeed and that's why I subscribe to her channel! 🐕 🐶 ❤

[@katiem8579]

Right after the vet scene at the beginning of your video, you open the slider to the van and there was a partial jug of Prestone- if this was antifreeze, don’t forget that dogs and cats are so attracted to that stuff and it can really harm them. Love you, the dogs and the videos!

[@clone_commandernayo5435]

yes this is the 2nd time antifreeze was in a video...good call...a big concern for me as well. I hope Nikki or her cousin reads this comment

I used to have a lot of trouble with my nails. I would soak my toes in Epsom salt and then push pieces of cotton ball under the nail. The pressure would help raise the ingrown nail up.

Seems to be a lot of want to be vets posting here, but did nobody notice the gallon of antifreeze next to the water dish? If the dogs lick the bottle that would be a whole new diagnosis for you want to be vets.

Nicki please do not drive with your dog on your lap, if you are in an accident your dog will not survive, either from the airbag or when you are thrown forward. As a retired volunteer FF I have seen this happen. Broke my heart.

At the truck stops in the medicine sections they have sting relief. It works so good for bug bites of any kind. It’s kinda a rub on stick thing.

What always helps me when I start to get an ingrown toenail is to file down the upper surface of the nail. It relieves the pressure on the sides and almost always prevents it from fully digging in.

[@sylmac65]

Ingrown toenail advice that really works. Put a tiny sliver of cotton or tissue under the area thatis growing into your skin. It will give it a little lift so that it will grow out. Do this for as long as needed and of course change out the cotton as needed. It could take a while but it really works. Hope that helps. Love your doggies and your Chanel

Dr. Scholl’s ingrain toenail remover works like a charm as well.
