Im going to ask for specific food allergy tests too. I would like her tested for grains, fleas, and a few single protein sources (beef, chicken, etc.) I'm fairly certain this is a flea reaction. But we shall see, vet comes in 30 minutes (cannot wait). I would like to treat yard, I know there are plants you can plant to repel fleas, I have read about a spritzer (steeped lemon water) that you can spritz on them to repel also. Brewers Yeast was mentioned by my vet also. She is on sentinnel but that does not repel, kill, nor stop a flea from biting so thats useless in Bellas case. |
Are you sure you want to do food allergy testing?
That is considered by some to be a waste of money.
It can show false positives and false negatives.
The only real way to see if a dog is allergic to a food is to feed it...
I don't think probiotics would cause such a severe reaction and it may be somewhat useful. If you saw a flea on her and this happened and you have been using a single protein food that has a novel protein and not-so-common carbs/starches, it may very well be fleas because what else could it be...
