Well about a week after we moved to Idaho I gave him a bath and noticed he was not itchy. Then he had a few more baths and one day while bathing him I noticed it felt like he had little stickers in his skin. I went for the flashlight to get a better look and to my amassment after all the bald years and leathery skin his hair had started growing back. Within 6 mo he had a full beautiful hair coat again. Turns out he was allergic to the water, not the food or the shampoos. So maybe you need to take those babies on a vacation to a cleaner place and see what happens. You might need a water purification system or move to Idaho where we have cleaner water Ha Ha. But seriously it could be the water. |
you know that is a very good possibility as the derm said to try distilled water when bathing and i have been lazy but now that you say this i am going to use distilled water with her next bath. California is horrible for allergies -- even the vet said when people move here within 2 mos their clients are coming in with their dogs with horrible allergies
and yes we have thought of moving for dee dee lol - but i do know alot of others on my allergy group that live in other areas so who knows - idaho here we come lol
I am going to give it a shot to see if it helps though
