I hope Charlie will feel better soon!!!
I will keep u updated, and I hope you will do the same when you see your vet again, tommorrow will be the first day that Charlie will be strictly on the new diet, up till this evening I have been mixing the old food with the new so that my dogs won't have a reaction to the sudden change, I will say that they all like the new food so atleast them eating it won't be a problem, also the vet said if they really didn't like it that we would try something else.
I was surprised as well by how soon she said we could see a change, but really it makes sense, because it certainly shouldn't take more than a week or so for the body to clear out the allergy causing substance(given it is a food allergy). Atleast it would seem so to me.

Thankyou for your good wishies for Charlie, he sends doggie kisses your way !
