German Shepherd with food allergies?

Post a new topicby CrystlMidnight on Fri May 02, 2008 9:49 pm


We have a German Shepherd whom we've had for almost three years now and for most of the time she's been having tons of skin problems. We've taken her to the vet countless times and are starting to believe that they are of no use now from the purchased vetrinary food to the blood tests and skin tests.

She has had an ear infection in her left ear and hair loss around her eyes. Some swelling and hair loss has been occuring around her jaw and mouth.

She has also had an extreme problem on her stomach where the skin is very warm to the touch, red with a dark almost black color instead of a healthy peach like color and basically irritated. Her anal area is also red with hair loss as well.

We've tried different types of store bought foods from Eukanuba (sp?), One and the Scientific Diet. From the vets we've tried IAMS with Kangaroo and Oats.

Any suggestions as to what can be done? I love this dog more than anything but she's beginning to cost us quite a bit. So please I need some help.
