He had a tought time with corn too - but that was tummy not skin. But some dogs do get rashes from corn in their diet. And it can just start happening even when they've eaten it for years. But I think that's the exception rather than the rule. | |

| No, the vet is assuming that is what it is. We don't know for sure. Is there something else that could cause the symptoms? |

| It sounds to me like contact dermatitis or allergies. Which is basically the same thing. |

wheat, green beans, turkey, duck, lamb, pork, beef, chicken, venison. believe it or not corn is okay. She's also allergice to grass, pollen, mold, and her brother the cat . We were able to switch her to a food with fish as a protein source and no wheat, and right now it's winter, so her grass allergies are in check. We've seen a huge improvement (even in warm weather) with the food change, but we NEVER would've happened onto the right food without the tests.

| Well, I think you've done what you can for now. She's got the steriods on board and is getting the benadryl to help. Its probably a waiting game for a little while now to see what her body does. Every dog is different and I'm no expert, I can just speak from my experience with my dog. With his skin allergies, some days he'd be just find and then the next day he'd be all red and itchy. I used alot of cortisol spray for those spots that drove him nuts. It was a couple of years, but then they went away as mysteriously as they came. But I was careful not to ever let him out on freshly mowed grass. not that you have any of that LOL. |
