Is there any food she never had any symptoms on?
For Ellie, she has to have fish as her protein source or she goes into the IBD thing...
i actually had the food allergy test done and all was negative; i feel like i have to give this test a try just for ava's sake. i dont want to do too many food trials with her; as her stomach is extermely sensitive.
i cant remember any food that she had without a reaction.
however she was on halo hollistic salmon dry food for over 8 months before the 2nd episode. and the 2nd episode i believe was brought due to stress; after we attended a dog event that was 2 hrs away; in august which was really hot weather.
however every food she was on she was always itching, scratching licking her paws. so not sure what she's allergic to.
now with the prednisone she hasn't itched at all.
