Skin allergy in dogs?

if you really want to know the root cause of the allergy itself. take your dog to a animal dermatologist. it's kind of expenseive but WELL worth every penny. I'm a Vet istant and we see tons and tons of animals with skin allergies and no matter what the owner does, it wont go away. call around other vets to see if there are any pet dermatologists in your area. I've also got a dog who's ears are really bad. i've spent over 600 dollars to help his ears and nothing is helping. so i've made the decision to take him to the dermatologist. in my area its about 300 dollars, but that also incudes what exactly he's allergic to, and they will prescribe something for that allergy. i really do believe its well worth every penny. if you dont want to do that, then change the food asap. just like you mentioned you will be doing. but i'd personally just throw that stuff out. theres a food from Science Diet called Z/D. i've got my dog on this and it has been helping. it's a food just for dogs with skin allergies. or just get a medium to most expensive brand of dog food with fish as the ingrediant. go back to your vet and see what he/she says. if they want to prescribe another prescription then just say no, and walk out. but i would give them another chance. Clavamox is just an antibiotic. and the childern's benedryl wont work miracles. so see what else they say for you to do. make sure next time you see them to ask what the cause of the skin allergy can be. did they do a skin scraping? maybe it's yeast and that when giving something like Animax will go away in time. If you have anymore questions, just email me. God Bless
