Hello Patti, I just read your reply and noticed you said you had your baby tested for allergies and found nothing, have you ever had her checked for thyroid?, the only reason I ask is because my baby scratches all the time and I have been searching for an answer and my sister mentioned that her friends dog had all the same symptoms as an allergic dog, the scratching, licking, etc and she had a blood test done for thyroid and that is what it ended up being even though her dog had all the symptoms of an allergic dog, I am sure by now you have tried everything, but if you have not thought of thyroid definitely get the test it would be worth it, she said all she has to do is give her dog one pill a day and he is fine. I got the test for my baby and was so hoping that was what the problem was but unfortunately it was not. I am now considering Atopica which I am very nervous about, but I think at this point I do not have any other choice. I just thought I would try and help you out, because I hate to hear about all these poor babies suffering. Hope this helps, Good luck! Lexi's Mom
