Thanks ladyjane, and forgive me please for getting angry. I was just really worried for Jenna. She is my baby and I feared making a wrong decision for her treatment. I do have a good vet, but the decision how to treat ultimately rests in my hands and I like to come to the exam table well briefed.
You were right however. The brown spots turned out to be yeast dermatitis. No mites (thank God!) but it's all over her, not just what I could see. So we have a soothing shampoo to use. No food allergy either. Sinus arrythmia normal. Even the hiccupping and reverse sneezing has been attributed to the air quality in our house. I guess all her symptoms can be traced back to how Alaskan winter causes us to have to seal our homes up like tupperware and all these allergens gather. We're going to have to get some air purifiers and set them up around the house.
I'm just so relieved to have a solution. Thanks again for answering my posts.
