If you have not done so, I would have allergy testing done on Pico.  We have a rescue here 
that has terrible allergies.  We all, including the vet thought the allergies were due to 
inhalants.  Well our girl is allergic to just as many foods as grasses, weeds, pollens, etc.  as 
well as some molds.  Food allergies include beef, chicken, cow's milk,Turkey, Wheat, in the 
specialty foods, she's allergic to duck, green beans, Rabbit.  We now have her on Solid Gold 
Lamb and Rice and antigen.  She is doing well, but still is on the load dose.  At times she still 
breaks out in the itchies and immediately gets a staph infection.
