I'm not saying that that is your pup's problem but I don't think that food is doing any good... Maybe you could homecook?

If your vet is treating you like someone who is over protective, find another vet. I ask Ellie's vet questions all the time. I call her a lot. Ellie has had some strange health issues lately... I have even been told to page her if I need a question answered before she gets to her voicemail. She never treats us like we worry too much (although she does notice we do get concerned easily). If your vet is taking your concerns lightly, please move on.

I agree with changing her food. Science Diet is loaded with corn, and a lot of dogs are allergic to corn. Sadie's Mom was having a lot of problems with her yorkie scooting her butt and she found out it was an allergy to corn. When a dog is allergic to something it eats, it can cause digestive problems and itchiness. I suggest trying a different food - a premium brand that does not have any corn. Some dogs are allergic to other grains as well and wheat so you might even want to find a grain-free food. There are allergy tests you can have done to determine if it is an allergy and exactly what she is allergic too.
