| diet suspicions A couple of weeks ago I have slowly introduced Latte to actual dog food-Blue Buffalo fish-based formula and treats (no corn/wheat). She has been scratching a lot more and licking her paws-mostly the scratching has been prominent. (Mostly under her "armpits". I spray Benedryl spray on those areas to help. I haven't given her any of the cortisone I still have and have been trying to figure out exactly what might be bothering her. Today I gave her only fresh cooked white fish and some fresh sweet potato (with just a teensie bit of real butter).She ate every bit!! She is now on my lap, happily sucking on her lambie puppet and snoozing. Now, I'll try that for a few days and see if I see any changes. I am beginning to wonder if the preservatives or something like that in the commercial food is the problem??? Did anyone else ever wonder about that? |

| i'm so sorry she is suffering. You might want to change to an even higher quality food. Perhaps Natural Balance Allergy Formula? YOu can also try home cooking to see if it is the commerical food. You'll need to supplement but you can easily buy one. |

| yes it sounds like she may have a bit of a food allergy. i agree with the post above me to try a higher quality of food that is hypoallergenic... hope everything goes well!
