In the past she had bad skin issues, bald spots & scabbing. We switched her to a lamb and rice based food and that cleared up but they show her as allergic to lamb and rice. She still has seasonal (fall) allergies where she chews at her feet but they show her as being ok with all pollen and grasses. It just doesn't make sense and, as I said, they aren't answering my questions. Waste of money.
I have terrible cat allergies and immediately shower and shampoo after exposure. So I also started giving her more baths. She takes Temaril-P. As per the vet we don't give her the joint meds or anything else except the monthly heartworm pill and flea-tick topical.
She had a cyst between her toes and was licking at it. The vets gave me a good tip for that- put socks on the dog and secure the top with athletic or duct tape. Then put on doggie booties to go outside or just change the sock. The alternative was one of those elizabethan collars so she realized it was the unwanted sock or the collar.
