In addition, when I look at the symptoms for food allergy she doesn't have them. She is itching and biting at her paws and a little nasaly. They did do a skin test on her, her eye was really bad and he did a scraping on it three times and came up with nothing. I don't know that he "actually" tested for mites but he did do a skin test.
She is allergic to dust mites, according to her previous owners but that is the only thing they said.
I will be taking her to the vet and will ask for the six panel blood test.
thank you |
well if previous owner said she is allergic to dust mites how did they know this by having allergy blood testing done? as that is the only way they would know -- did they give her up because she has allergies? Wash her paws daily as that helps allergy dogs and bath her ever week in hypoallergenic shampoo -- rubbing face, chewing paws, itching chin etc are all signs of food allergy but 90% of the time it is enviromental allergies -- in switching foods did you switch proteins as protein is the cause of food allergy
