Ginger has a lot of allergies too. I have found she is worse in the spring/summer/fall. I feed her a food she does well on (took awhile to find) and so in the winter, she's only dealing with her allergies to mold and our cat. The rest of the year her grass/pollen/ragweed allergies can make her pretty miserable. I haven't found anything that "cures" it, but have found a few things that make her more comfortable.

In the "bad season" I give her daily oatmeal baths (I use Aveeno Colloidal oatmeal, but daisymae06 says you can use regular oatmeal, do a search or check with her) and weekly baths with Aveeno baby bath/shampoo. Keeping the allergens OFF of her is important. Frequent vacuuming, using baby wipes on her feet & belly everytime she comes in, keeping her hair short (yes, goodbye long silky hair) all seem to help as less allergens cling to her.

As far as your current issue, I agree, find out about yeast.

Good luck!!!
