I know this isn't an emergency but has got us not sure what's going on!
We went to the vet 2 weeks ago because Peanut was itching his bad/tail area so bad that he "barbered" his hair. It was still itchy, raw and red.
The vet said that it might have been a flea allergy. Meaning a flea bit him but didn't attach and caused the itching. We got some antibiotics and steroids to help him with it a little, but he was still itching!
We went back to the vet and mentioned that he was still itching and they mentioned maybe a food allergy.... I never thought of it, but going to try that. We got hypoallergenic food and treats.... and still itches lol NO fleas, no ticks.... What could it be!??? I'm thinking it's just seasonal allergies especially here in Texas it's flipping hot and humid!
The vet said that we won't know for like 4 months if it's a food allergy? That seemed a little long to us....
He is on the flea/tick prevention and takes his heartworm meds too.
We bathe Peanut once a week, and starting to think we wash him too much.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Other then that Peanut is doing good! He is 10 months and full of energy!
