I'm currently going through allergy stuff, and my vet is seeing Harley every 2 weeks. We are making subtle changes; however, the original change too a lot of medication, and a strict diet to clear him of his problems (he has both IBD and skin allergies).

I'm noticing a slow decrease in itching, but my vet told me he needs to be on the new kibble for at least 2 bags (like 3 months) before we'll know for certain if he can tolerate it. with my past experience, if it's going to be worse, it will go down hill within 2-3 days. The improvements take much longer to settle in, in order for you to fully determine what is causing problems.

I've been going through this since August, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. I just switched vets to a vet who on top of traditional practice does natural chinese medicine, so I've got a broad spectrum of information coming at me right now.
