First of all grain free food doesn't have to be expensive. Gizmo is on grain free food and for a 3.5 lb bag, which lasts him awhile, it's $10.95. Besides, skin allergies or not, I would highly recommend grain free in general.
With that being said, there's not much else you can do tonight. But, that doesn't mean you can't be proactive. The members in this thread have provided alot of information, one even basically mapped out a Vet Dermatologist for you.
So to say we're not helping you is a fallacy. However, we may not be providing you with a fix it now solution which may be what you want to hear right now due to your frustration.
I read your blog and it says that you had her anal glands squeezed. Now, my Cairn, she will get this odor and I can't even describe it and it's terrible. It's almost has like a sweet smell to it. And I know it's her anal glands because she only gets it when she's nervous, anxious, or about to go outside and express them. When she gets out of the stressful situation, the odor goes away.
With that being said, your pup is a rescue and could be doing the same thing. Especially since she's in new surroundings. Now, I'm not a vet, or a vet dermatologist, however I am providing you with some information that you could mention to the dermatologist if you plan on going (and I hope to Jesus that you do).
Remember, that the little face and bat ears that is lovingly staring up at you isn't malicious or purposefully trying to be stinky. Imagine her thought process, she's stinky, her Momma is upset and she knows it, and there's nothing she can do about it. Dogs sense your frustration which probably doesn't help her state at all.
Please listen to our advice, even if it's not the exact thing you want to hear, it's good solid advice and could provide you the answers you've been looking for on here.
