I would switch him to a grain-free food and see how that works. I was in a similar situation with my dog where I fed him food that contained corn, and later I found out he was severely allergic. His skin broke out in a rash and he was constantly scratching himself. I made the switch to Taste of the Wild and his skin problems cleared up. |
It's probably yeast (fungal) infection. Try lotrimin cream 1% (athlete's foot medicine) instead of cortisone. The idea about changing to a food that doesn't have corn or wheat is also worth a try. Search this website for yeast infection or itching, and you'll get tons of good ideas. |
I would have the vet check for mites too if it doesn't clear up. |
