Hey I was contacted by someone who purchased a pup of mine over a year ago. there was 10 pups in the litter and she is the only one that has had this issue. I was wondering if I could get some advise, because I haven't dealt with this issue before. The Dam had no health issues, but recently the sire has had flea allergies.
Here is the e-mail explaining her problem.
Thank you in advance for any help.
"Hey Andre, I called you this morning about Booda, I love her so much and she is really feeling bad right now. She is loosing her hair all over her body mainly around her eyes. She has red bumps on her legs and smells a day or two after her bath. I have taken her to the vet several times and we can not find out what she is allergic to. When she is not on medication she is constantly biting and scratching herself. She was on Prednisone 20mg and Simplecef 100mg for two weeks and she was doing well. As soon as she got off the medicine she stared scratching again. I really don't want her on these meds to long. I changed her food to a more natural food. But she was doing just find on the Science Diet for almost a year now. Please help I really don't know what to do"
Skin scrapes have been done, but nothing. I recommended for her to spray her with anti itch antibiotic spray and Benadryl, just to help her out now.
Thanks
Andre
