If allergies are diagnosed, you may want to consider Atopica (if you can't prevent exposure to the allergen, that is) - my Marcel does great on it.
If your vet cannot properly diagnose the issue, I can't recommend highly enough that you see a Vet Dermatologist. I had to go that route - and while it's not cheap, it's worth every penny to solve the problem. |  This is excellent advice.
I also wanted to welcome you and Nikki to YT!! Nikki sounds like a very special little guy. We'd love to see some pictures of him!
