My 4 year old little girl had the same problem...we had her to the vet in PA in Nov 07 before we moved to SC because she had the red spot that turned flaky and sticky...they did nothing for her...told me to change her food...didn't say to what! Moved to SC.new vet said do the hypo allergenic food and treats...no improvement.... tried another vet and this one said definitely food allergy.... suggested Natural Balance fish and sweet potato food and duck and potato treats...also gave her an allergy shot. What a difference in less than 3 weeks...she was like a puppy...coat was beautiful. I opted to do testing and she is allergic to everything...the big one was corn which so many food have. I still get her a shot every 6 weeks but she is GREAT!
