Basically this is because the pred and antibiotics only address the symptoms
of what is causing the problem without actually removing the problem itself.
The minute you stop giving them for example, the symptoms (ie the itchy
scabby spots) will return.  To solve the problem you need to determine what
the cause is.  Here are some good articles on allergies:
