BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GIFT EXCHANGE GIFT! | My poor denzel hi yt family let me just start off by saying i know a lot of people post threads like this all day everyday but you are my family i needed to share with you. Denzel went to the vet this morning. I made him an appointment because a couple months ago he started to get brown spots on his skin and his vet told me its like dog acne but if it gets worse and don't clear up to bring him back she will have to do test. So maybe the past month he was scratching like crazy and then he started to get more spots and i know i probably shouldn't have waited a month, plus last night and this morning he kept crying and i couldn't figure out why so he slept with me and bf but anyway the doctor said that he is allergic to pollen and dust he has skin allergies. And that he irritated his skin by scratching (my fault). He has to take to different liquid medicines and he has some medicated shampoo. His skin scrapping test came back negative so she told me to keep him in the house as much as possible for the next two weeks because of the meds and the air. He is now sleeping like a baby. I just felt so horrible for my baby how could i have let him be in pain like this? I just thought he had dry skin. Is there any advice yt mom and dads who babies have allergies? Because the vet ask me about his bedding because his was on his tummy but i wash his linen and toys once a week. Its just denzel, hubby, and i. I'm a neat freak i'm always dusting mopping etc. Is there something else i'm missing or not doing or doing wrong? |

| Poor baby. I hope the meds help him. What about diet? What is he eating? Did they take blood to determine what he is allergic to? Hope he feels better soon. |

| Our dalmatian had allergies bad (they are very prone to them). For her the worst thing was carpet. I taught her to lay on her blanket only (100% cotton) and that helped. The next worst thing was grass. Again I discouraged her from laying on it. She still had very itchy feet and behind (from sitting on stuff). As she got older it got worse and worse, she got sensitive to just about everything. Man-made fibers were always the worst (so couch, carpet, nylon fabric, etc). I bought denim couch covers and did all I could to keep her off the things that aggravated her. Don't overlook food allergies, they are probably the easiest fix. We had our dal on lamb and rice, we had to stay away from all other grains and meats.

I started making chicken jerky at home for Sugar. She mostly loves it...but wants me to break it up and feed it to her its also super easy to do and I know its safe unlike the stuff from China Could Denzel be allergic to the laundry soap you are using? Maybe try switching to unscented uncolored...just a thought... Good Luck Nesha

My poodle is super sensitive too, bites on her feed a lot. About three weeks ago I started using Tropiclean's OxyMed (Medicated Oatmeal treatment rinse) it's like conditioner. Says it that it helps with seborrhea, scaling, eczema, hot spots, flaking and flea bite dermatitis. I don't know if that will work for you, but it's helped my poodle tons. IMO I really don't like Science Diet food. Read the ingredients, it's not much better that the stuff at Walmart. I use Evo. It's grain free and high quality ingredients. Just a suggestion. Please, let us know what the blood results reveal. ((((((HUGS))))))))

| I have a dog with severe allergies. She was in and out of the vets office with different meds and shampoos for the first year of her life. We tried every kind of food, starting with eliminating anything with chicken, etc. We finally ended up at the doggy dermatologist doing a skin test. She ended up being allergic to dust, dust mites, mosquitos, different types of trees, molds, and fungi, and a few other things. She is now on allergy shots once a week and only has flare ups a few times a year, but they are not nearly as bad as they were. I know it is hard to see them in pain, but give it time and you will figure out what he is allergic to and will be able to work around it! Good luck!
