Diesel has allergies and at the moment they are playing up a lot He is scratching and chewing himself heaps and losing a lot of coat. He is currently on Eagle Pack Anchovy etc but I am thinking of changing back to ProPlan. He gets bathed in Aloveen, I try to do him once a fortnight as he gets really filthy (seems to attract dirt like nothing else!).
I noticed the area he is the worst (groin, tummy and flank) is warm to the touch compared to the rest of his body. I think this has something to do with the allergy? Does anyone have ideas on how to cool this area down, would it make any difference?
The poor boy must be so uncomfortable ;)
Might be Atopic Dermatitis (Airbone Allergies). Might be yeast, have a look on his tummy where it is clear of hair and you can see easy and see if there is any
pink nodules, like a pimple head. If so it is most probably yeast by the smell you are describing.
You can get sanity in 48 hours if it is yeast from the vet prescribing some antibiotics and ear drops if in there too. Malaseb is a shampoo you might want to try if you do not have $140 to spend as it kills yeast off.

Oh Nutro certainly will not hurt the results
