I totally agree, as I am going through all of this right now. Miracle gets pumpkin and vension, that's it. She had her second visit to the derm doc yesterday. She is done with the steroids but is still on simplacef and was given anouther round of antibiotics for the staph infection she had, this will be her last two weeks. However, we will have to see how it goes from here, as we found another flea on her. For whatever reason, she is the only one that has them and ONE keeps popping up every couple of months. I know the saying where there is one, there are more, however we NEVER find anymore, so this could just be a flea allergy (hoping it is that simple), she was given medicine that kills them in 15 mins., he called it birth control for fleas. One she will take for the month along with my other babies and the other one she will get one pill every other day. So as of right now we are concentrating on a flea allergy, and he did say I could feed her whatever I wanted but I'm going to stick with venison and pumpkin at least for a little while longer.
This is not a quick and cheap process as I am already in over $1,000, but I will do whatever I can to help my baby feel better.
