food allergy hello so my yorkie sophie has had a rash for most of the summer with the vet putting her on antibiotics and sprays and benadryl with no luck. so he now put her on clindamycin and panalog cream and miraculously her rash and her itching is gone except her ears are healing but they look much better then they did. the vet thinks she has a food allergy..... she was eating the freshpet chicken rice peas and carrots flavor. and wellness chicken and brown rice kibble. so he believes its the chicken. so he gave me royal canin duck and potatoes canned dog food and i tried to mix it in with the old food and she refuses to eat it. she will pick at it and eat the chicken food but not the duck. anyone have any idea of what other food i can try to give her that is hypoallergenic dog food. part of me thinks she isn't allergic to the chicken but i'm trying to listen to the vet so it doesn't come back. i wonder if she had a yeast infection but i read the yeast infection could be caused from a food allergy. sooooo...... yea. back to square 1. |
Royal Canin has a whole slew of dog food, canned and dry, that are specifically for allergies....there are diets of duck, venison, fish, vegetarian, etc....you just need to go to their site and see what different kinds they offer....Chewy.com ships RC...all your vet needs to do is send a prescription for the food and then you can see what one she likes...RC allows returns/refunds if they dont like the food or if they dont eat the food....start out with the smallest bag and go until your pup finds a flavor he likes. |
This doesn't sound right to me...food allergies are actually *very* rare - they only account for about 10% of dog allergies. Also, the only real way to discern a food allergy is to do an elimination diet, was that done...? It's more likely (especially bc it started in summer too) that they're seasonal allergies. Benadryl is not great for allergies bc you have to give it every 4-6 hrs for it to be therapeutic. Vet Derms recommend Claritin or Zyrtec as they're 24hr meds; and then there are the more effective prescription meds.
