That's exactly what the vet and I had discussed before. I had allergy testing myself and it showed noting, an it hurt a lot! I'm thinking (wishing, hoping) that it's something else besides the food-mites, yeast or a bacterial infection. If I had an extra $1000 to blow, I would do every test they had, but she is just not that bad--no big patches of hair falling out, etc--just scratches a lot and licks her feet a lot. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Thanks so much for your story. I'm glad the Atopica works-we tried that years ago-may want to try it again.
