I agree with yorkiek9trainer...SEBORRHOEA! The flakiness cinched it for me. I have had the same problem, though not to the degree you have. Poor you-you must be sleep-deprived. I am going to a different vet this week. I feel so bad for my girl and myself. It is soooo hard to nail down a treatment. I have her on natural Balance food and it did help, but I think her allergies are environmental. After all I've read, food allergies are rare and I am not about to spend more money trying to find out more. All I want to know is how to help her. So, I've put her on low dose prednisone for this week and then I'll see what the vet says. we tried Atopica, but it did't do much and was super-expensive. I also, give her 1ml of baby benedryl at night. She actually likes it. I think she knows it helps her. Anyway, hang in there. This forum is really a big help. It's a good thing our babies are so cute, huh?
