| I think Abby has allergies hey guys I think my lil girl has allergies. I notice she sneezes alot n sumtimes her eyes seem a lil red. She also tends to bring her paw towards either her face or back of her ears n scratch. N then she also tends to sometimes bite or nibble on her hind legs or thighs (the area between her tummy n actual leg). The vet just did bloodwork on her n said all was fine. Do they pick that up on reg bloodwork or do they have to take more blood out for that or do I go to a specialist? Thanx in advance..... |

| Hi. I didn't realize you could check for allergies with bloodwork. My Shih Tzu has had had terrible allergies - sneezing, scratching face on carpet, chewing on paws, ear infections, hot spots all over body. We did some medication, we did some holistic herbal additives, but the thing that has helped the most was simply changing to a better food. We originally changed to raw food ("Steve's Real Food" - frozen) and the allergies cleared up almost immediately. That might be something you could try to make her a little more comfortable. Good Luck!!
