just to give you an example

DD was pretty managed allergy wise on temarilp every other day so after this whole metacam incident she was a mess vomitted white potato, vomitted sweet potato, vomitted yams so i ran out of options to pill her with so i tried natural balance fish and sweet potato and nb venison and sweet potato both having flaxseed in them well her eyes were rubbed raw so bad i had to put her in a cone, her itching level increased significantly she was a total mess so then I went with organic chicken no relief all the while she is on steroids suppose to stop food allergy ? So now i put her on cod for pilling and within one week the itching is much less i can keep cone off her as she is not rubbing her eyes etc. Now when she was pilled with white potato we did not have these issues as she has never rubbed her face to the point where she rubbed her eyes raw ever never has she had to wear a cone so seeing this first hand convinced me what i read in this book a few years ago. She has been on temarilp for 2 years now. It was getting so bad I called to increase her temarilp yet nothing was stopping this itching while on the allergent foods.

also if this dog is on a chicken diet and on steroids why are the steroids not working?
