| Skin issues My chacha has small white bumps on her back from her neck to tail. They flatten and turn black after a while. Vet has no clue. She is now on a very expensive prescription diet. Her condition hasn't improved. She chews her rump and paws alot (I guess hot spots). I have tried several foods. When I gave her Blue Buffalo she broke out in massive hives and had to go on anibiotics. Anyone have this problem and willing to share suggestions? |

| Could she be allergic to chicken or red dye #40, my peke is allergic to both and it took a long time to figure it out. I know it is frustrating but just try eliminating different things. It has made me so uncomfortable to see them scratch so it has to be even more terrible for them.

| Too high a protein can be a problem as well. I don't like feeding much over about 22%, 24% at the max. Preservatives can also be a problem. DOn't know if it might be worthwhile to cook instead. rice if not allergic to it, either chicken or beef try one or the other, green beans are usually ok. A little cauliflower not too mcuh it can give gas. Carrots if she is ok with it, some of mine can't have carrot get diarrhea from them. Peas would likely be ok. |
