as far as the Vet Derm is concerned we are already trying to gather Molly's medical history and paperwork to bring with us along with a complete history of medication so that we can figure this mess out .. we were looking at that vet in Riverdale since she is soo highly recommended by many people ..
here is my only question for now until we get an appointment with a derm vet .. if chicken and beef are very bad for Molly .. what food could we prepare that would not make her allergy worse and isn't dog food ?? she hates Natural Balance .. we've gotten her to eat Chef Michaels but that didn't last long .. before her spaying she used to eat Little Ceasars but due to the lamp shade she was fed ham  and other food from the table because we didn't want her to starve .. would turkey lot dogs be okay ?? or any non read meat like turkey burgers ?? I'm at a loss for what to do because every other dog I've owned has eaten their food and my little "Princess" is soo fussy lol thank you ALL again for all of the great help and amazing love .. I printed everything so that I have more ammo to battle this and get my baby back to the way she used to be .. I appreciate everything from the bottom of my heart |
has she ever eaten cod? Venison, bison, ? what proteins has she eaten as to be a truly elimination diet you have to have a protein and a carb she has never eaten. We had tried so many that dd did an elimination diet of Pinto beans and potato for 12 weeks so if you are ok with home cooking then here is what i recommend. For 12 weeks and only feed NOTHING ELSE - one protein so after you tell me what she has had we can help with this and i like sweet potato better than white potato as ibd dogs can have allergies so has she ever had digestive issues?
Our dermatologist had us do pinto beans, white potato with safflower oil and a multi vitamin from whole foods for two weeks. I opted not to do multivitamin as due to allergies i wanted to be very basic and vitamins have fillers and 12 weeks is not going to kill them -- dd itched a little less but still itched so hers is environmental but she is on a limited ingredient diet as well
Best to use organic meats and vegetables as these dogs are small and pesticides and stuff can aggravate allergies as well
and if allergic to poultry then you want to avoid turkey, egg and duck which we were told by derm
