No Longer a Member | Debbie, Have you considered looking in a new direction? What do you think of the possibility that rather than an allergy, it is a nervous condition? The only reason I ask is that you have said you have just tried everything under the sun. I think I would try and find out if the scratching is some kind of nervous condition, and the redness is a result of the scratching. What do you think? |

| Oh no, that looks pretty severe (and painful) Zoe too suffers from allergies, always scratches her right side and has once scratched so much her right eyelid swelled, infected and loss a lot of hair on her right eyelid. Right now, she scratches off a lot of hair on her right nostril but this is nowhere near yours. Hopefully a vet can check him out soon! |

| really the shots work? I have not homecooked or done allergy shots so those are the last resort. I have not heard one person say allergy shots work so did they for your son? Dee Dee has been going to dermatologist for 1 year now. |

Another thing that helped us is that we alternate oils on their food. One night we'll do coconut oil, the next night we'll do fish oil, the next night we'll do flax seed oil and we rotate every 3 nights like that. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh, Debbie - I know you've been struggling w/ this terribly. I feel so bad for Dee Dee, it looks miserable to endure this. I think I've asked this before but: you've tried cortisone? What about cortisone shots in the area? Diet? Is it eczema or some other skin disorder besides allergies? My vet gave me some Gentacyn (sp?) yesterdya for Wylie's little toe ouchie. It is an antibiotic spray that also contains cortisone - I wonder if you've tried that? Have they done a skin scrape in a petri dish?
