| vet put us on perscription diet Hi, my shih tzu Chloe(Tanks older sister) has a rash on her lips. In the spring the vet said it was a allergy reaction and to switch foods and wait. Well 4 months later no change so I went back in. They did some testing and decided it was a yeast infection. They said a yeast infection would only happen with a compermised immune system soooo were on perscription food. Not one Im to happy about but I dont know what to do. Has anyone heard of yeast infections on the skin happening? And the diet fixing it? |

| Hi Tanksmom. My Shi Tzu has terrible skin allergies. They were never diagnosed as "yeast infections" but that did fit. Food did make a difference for him. Right now, he's on Natural Balance and doing really well, but he actually did the best on a raw diet. We used Steve's Real Food. Hopefully, you'll get some other answers if we bump this up for you.

| Perscription Diet My little Bella also has a rash on her lips, and is constantly chewing on her paws. I have tried to change her food several times (evo, canidae, timberwolf, etc), but nothing seems to help. Now my vet wants to put her on either Hills ZD or Purina HA. The ingredients look like crap compared to what she has been eating. Does anyone have any experience with either of these foods, or any other hypoallergenic food?

| This food stuff can drive one mad. we rescue a Jack Russell terrier back in march that had no hair on her back, just pink skin with black spots, took her to the vet she check out find, he put her on s/d senative skin , well she has done great all her hair came back even on her feet, no more itching, wicket the yorkie is on solid gold lamb and rice puppy diet, If gracie (jack Russell) eats any of his food it starts all over again , I have yet to find a food beside s/d that she does not itch on or her hair doesn't fall out, I have tried canidae, innova, purina one, It's just plain weird I am sticking to S/D for her . right now I am feeding 2 labs predigree, jack S/D and Yorkie soild gold The Labs are military dogs that we are keeping for their owners while they are overseas and they both were fed this food before we got them. |
