We live in the high desert in Victorville. We don't have as many options as you do "down the hill". Thanks, though!! I love having someone to talk with about doggie issues. My hubby gets a little bored.  |
if the benedryl works that is great news as many dogs do not respond to antihistamines such as my baby
Allergies can sometime come from problems in the gut called leaky gut syndrome so if you get the gut healthy then allergies are less. I put dee dee on probiotics dds plus from lassens health food and you can have whole foods order it too if they do not carry it . You give one capsule 30 min before food ( dd is 6lbs) then after food or on food i give dd raw organic coconut oil from this company as coconut oil has 50's the vitamin e capsule and it is natural food. Also, I do 1/4 tsp of hemp oil as hemp seed is the best omega 3-6 ratio and it acts as an anti-inflammatory which is better than fish oil as when they get inflammed they get itchier hence the red skin. The best one is Nutiva. Dogs with skin probs need vitamin e and omega 3 and 6. I hope this helps as dd is doing much better since i put her on this - next i will juice zuccini and celery and do a home cooked diet as that is suppose to help since so many preservatives etc in dog foods also you can do one ingredient at a time with them to see if they have a reaction.
Also , i recommend bile acid test - pre and post as dd has mvd which is a liver issue and if the liver is not cleansing properly then they can have itchy skin
