We have ruled out mite/parasites, we have ruled out food allergies, we have ruled out emphysema, so we are doing some blood work in 4 days to see if it is an environmental allergy. Anyone else going through this with their animal(any type)?
Here are some picshave you changed his diet.?...does he drink tape water? does he get any oil supplements? these are all questions your doc wont ask... tape water can cause skin allergies and other health problems... did you do food tests or what?
Is your dog getting enough Omega 3,6, and 9 fatty acids... this is a must for skin and cells... if your dog isnt getting enough of these then the cells will become impermiable and well that can cause the immune system to fail...
But to much Omega 6 can cause Cancer or other things so becareful and make sure that you find an oil with all of them in there.... ask a local holistic store vendor if they have any oils that will cover all that... try a filter on your tap... and possible go to a RAW food diet... RAW is all natural will help your dog out tremendously...Im not saying it will help completely but it will help alittle...
Hope it helps
YEah, my bad. We have tested for mange already and that has been ruled out.jim said:Emphysema is a lung disease. I think you meant to say eczema. I would have a vet look at it, possibly a form of mange. They can also do a blood workup to see if something is lacking in his system.
