Morgan is not on them. however, being a tech i used to see lots of patients on them when i was working at a general practice. Most did well, some needed more then others, and some didn't work at all. But thats just like with people. I'd try something like hydroxyzine before pred, UNLESS her allergies were so bad that she was scratching away hair and creating sores.
I would also use an oatmeal shampoo on a weekly basis, and use Salmon oil on the food or in capsule form to get more omega fatty acids into her (must use Vit E when using fish oil, don't forget). And since i feed raw, to rule out food allergies, i'd use a rarer protein like venison, rabbit, or buffalo. I don't know about homecooking but don't you have to add lots of ingredients to make it balanced, as well as supplements? i think there would just be so many factors that could be adding to it, just like with kibble. so many ingredients, who knows what she could be allergic to. but then again i could be wrong because i don't know what exactly your feeding her.
