This is hot and humid Miami after all, and I suspect environmental allergens too.
As for bringing up the prescription diet, corn is found in I/D which is why I initially worried about a flare-up. He is scratching and biting again, most noticeably his feet. His follow-up is tomorrow so I'll take the chance to ask the vet about possible medications and a dermatologist. Thank you for the advice. |
Re: the corn in i/D diet. It also has egg product in both the dry and canned versions. I know egg causes my Daisy to bite at her feet like crazy. We used to think it was corn, but she is ok with corn but gets crazy on egg.
