Hi She had a runny nose all the time, her skin was horrible, and always caking with yuck. We would give her medicated baths which would work for about a week or two before the caking would start again. Now its three to four months before the caking starts, and she usually gets a non medicated bath by then. She would also get several skin infections after baths, but we are very careful to dry her, especially around her mane. The allergy test is easy, and about $100. Our vet does the blood test. We discovered she was very allergic to 26 out of 43 or so items tested. How do you tell a dog who loves to be outdoors not to lay on the grass??? ; ) I was then told (by the vet) that regular dog food can cause allergies as well. He said there was special food for dogs with allergies and that it was expensive, and we avoided that issue for a long time. My MIL had been making food for her dogs for years, and I just followed her lead, knowing my dog loved her cooking. Good luck! deb ChristineCvs@aol.com wrote:
