Thanks so much guys! Thanks to you I have a whole list of questions to ask my vet on Friday and I will definitely be changing her food... I was up rubbing her belly all night last night (the only thing that keeps her attention off of itching) and it broke my heart to see her so uncomfortable... I cant tell you enough how much I appreciate your kind words and helpful advice

My boy Oscar had hair loss as well. After being tested for everything under the sun, the vet seems to be leaning toward vasculitis. It can cause hair loss as well as other problems. He's on a course of steroids now and I can actually see some hair growing back. He has a lot of scarring so some hair may never grow back but it's looking promising.
