Thank you. I didn't realize the flax could be a problem for her.
The vet we see is a traditional vet who also pracitices Holistic medicine with accupuncture, chiropractic and nutrition along with natural supplements. However, I have found a different one who is only about an hour away from me so I may get an appointment with her for a consult.
I fear that I may never find the 'perfect' diet/supplements for her with her allergies. I would love for her to have an allergy free life controlled by diet and supplements but that may not be possible if I can't find the right combination. She is doing great on her home cooked food right now as far as the food allergies go and I did start her on the prednisone so the seasonal allergies are also under control...she hasn't been scratching for 3 full days now
I don't want her to face a lifelong routine of prednisone though.
I still want to check into Darwin's and Stella & Chewy's. I talked with one person at Darwin's last night but it seemed pretty expensive...not sure about Stella & Chewy's.

However, for confirmation...maybe ask your Vet Derm's tech to ask the Vet Derm. Or, if working w/ your general vet, your general vet could call for a quick phone consult w/ a vet derm.
I'm not a big fan of Missing Link bc it has flax (another iffy thing for allergy dogs), barley, bran, nuts --- which all could be sensitive for Megan right now.
Are you planning to homecook for a good while? If yes, then I'd definitely consult a Vet Nutritionist for specific supplementation - it can be really tricky and delicate for an allergy dog...and if she gets out of balance, she could develop even more allergies.

I do like this general supplement...but again, it'd be so helpful to get a professional opinion: Nature's Farmacy - Store - Product Details |
