So, if you or anyone out there can help me until then, I would be most grateful. After thousands of dollars am still in the same place since May.
Thanks for your reply if you have one. |
That's a tough question and I'm so sad that your little girl has such big problems. You said the allergies are not food related (corn and/or wheat in her food?) My previous dog was allergic to dog food in general so I cooked for her. Chicken and rice, tuna, veggies, cottage cheese etc. Maybe it is the floor cleaner or the cleaner for your carpets if you use something like that. Even the laundry detergent or the softener can cause allergies. For the yeast infection in her ears she should get a special lotion to put in and I remember Mitzi got antibiotics too when she had that. Could it be that she has a yeast infection all over her body? You could try to give her a bath with Phisoderm (the one for acne.) Our Vet recomended it and Mitzi is much better now. I also put a cotton shirt on Mitzi and for some reason it helped her against the ichting and the skin redness.
I hope you'll find a solution really soon and your little girl gets better fast!
