My dog has food allergies

[kermit]

Thanks Jes, that was excellent info. I have isolated all the proteins he has been exposed to and the one that he has had the most is fish. He has also had chicken and lamb. I think that the fish is the culprit. I want to inroduce a protein after maybe another week with his improvement on the veggie diet, maybe beef. What do you think about cheese as a protein? Or is the dairy a bad idea? I was told before that yogurt may help. I have used benedryl sparingly and have Ketochlor shampoo and cream. He is improving and really only licks his feet after they get wet from the morning dew. I don't want to do the allergy test unless I have to. I think this maybe aggravated by summer heat, but he is improving. Thats a good thing. Rebel and I thank you immensely.

Hi Kermit,

I had the blood allergy test done on Titan(my dog). He had been through so much already with the open sores, sneezing, itching, and such that I couldn't put him through the skin test. The blood test was enough to give us what he was allergic to the most. Changing his diet and removing as much dust as possible from my house has worked wonders. It's funny....the type of food Titan can eat(fish) is what your dog seems to be allergic to the most. Having all of these allergies proves to me that dogs are much more human like than we give them credit for!

Good luck and let me know how it all works out for you and Rebel. If you have anymore questions, just let me know.
