She has always been on raw food -- Primal Nuggets and has done very well, along with a very small snack of Wysong Anergen (only lamb and rice dry) once a day. In the last few weeks she has now also developed soft stools. Vet recommended Omega 3's, but only fed these twice in small amounts, she can't tolerate fats. Allergy testing was quoted to me as $800.00 for the test and $200.00 for each vial of injectable serum to be given for the rest of her life. Help? Thank you in advance!! |
8 years old so probably food related or something new in environment? Allergies start at age 6mos to 3 years so I would have thyroid panel done due to age and have 6 panel done through dr jean dodds
Hemopet/Hemolife, HEMOPET a full animal blood bank, Diagnostic Laboratory, Adoption and Consultation, michigan state or antech lab to rule out hypothyroid as thyroid issues can cause skin issues. I would go very basic on food and call the food companies and see if they changed their formula recently that could be causing this sudden change. Tshirts help to keep them from bloodying themselves and i have socks also to keep dd from chewing her paws
