allergy issues

[whitedaisy]

Anybody else plagued with troubles? Daisy has had terrible troubles

I've started this http://www.nzymes.com/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=12 for the last 10 days or so and she seems to be improving!!! Yippy!!

Another tip for itchy pups is Listerine (original). I'm always looking for itch relief ideas!!

what do you do with the Listerine?

[whitedaisy]

cotton ball, dab it on. I tried it twice and she didn't mind it at all. Poppy licked it off though LOL

Is she on raw? A raw chicken free diet has made Keepers a much happier dog. Luckily that was enough with him, so I don't know much about other remedies.

[whitedaisy]

she is on raw! and I've done food trials and I really don't think chicken is the problem. As even when we went 8 weeks without it there was no improvement and no difference when we feed it. She is doing well right now and has been getting a bit of chicken lately.
Actually, I'm now wondering if it was the peanut butter I used to give with her meds! She has improved since I started putting her meds in hamburger.

Keepers would just die if he was allergic to peanut butter. I never even thought about that as an allergen for him.

We gave our little one oatmeal baths last spring when her seasonal allergies were bad. We only did it every other week or so, but it seemed to help. I think just getting all the pollen off her skin helped.

Yeah, I've spent a million dollars on special shampoos, dermatologists, allergy testing you name it.... but in hind sight it probably was the peanut butter. She was taking 14 pills a day so I had to have something to help her eat that!! I wish I would have thought of hamburger earlier, course that wasn't on the food trial either. Right now she has to have 2 baths a week. I hate bathing so much but it's part of the treatment plan and I really want to see this work for her. She's been pretty miserable at times and I'll do anything not to put her on steroids again.
