Before my gpa went to NC he took Sophie to get a blood test because she still had some itchies even after greatly improving once put on a raw diet any ways she is allergic to soo many things.
CATs are the thing she is most allergic to, I was shocked because the family that we got her from had cats! also pretty high on the list is corn and LAMB!She's also allergic to turkey,chicken,DUCK,Salmon,not rice,she's also allergic to juke or something that is used to make put carpets on the floor,bermuda grass and more. Poor thing is allergic to soo much stuff.I read once that dogs with allergies can develop more allergies esp. with food and I'm thinkinh that was the case with the duck and salmon, does anybody know what we can do to prevent her from developing more allergies?Thanks!

Trudy had skin testing from a dermatologist. Skin testing is really good to really see what they are allergic to.

Trudy has many allergies. I give her an allergy shot from the serum the derm. makes. I give it to her once a week. She Takes Hydroxyzine every day and eats Natural Balance Fish and Potato. She is doing fantastic.

Did you see a specialist? They are the best doctors for allergy.

Yes, have the dog allergy tested.

Hopefully, they will put her on "preventative" meds, or Benadryl.

SALLYA--I take Hydroxizyne!!!! So weird! It works SO well for me.

To the OP: I think fish & Potato would be a great choice. Do you know if the dog is allergic to white fish?
It's a pretty nuetral food, and yummy too.

Ask the Dermatologist about it.
