Before winter he was being washed more often with malasleb though I was concerned about how harsh it was. Though it was giving him some relief. He is due for a bath soon so im also trying to decide between a few different shampoos. I was looking at demacare, ivory coat sensitive or Aloveen.

I sent the QLD breeder an email in May and Im still waiting for a response. I have to admit looking back it didnt take me long to notice little red pimples on his tummy after playing outside on the grass. So I find it hard to believe that she wouldnt have seen the same. He was originally on Advance puppy but I did some research after his itchiness seemed to get worse with his age. So I switched to grain free holistic select. Then went to kangaroo on the elimination diet then got busy with work and went to blackhawk. He was at the higher end of the price range and I wish I had gone with a different breeder. I really do hope none of his brothers and sisters have the same issues.

Do you remember the name of those tablets please?

Apoquel is the one the vet mentioned and wasn't keen on using and cost $4 a day? I think thats the name.

Thank you for the replies. Last time we went to the vet he got a steroid injection for some immediate relief and the vet also suggested getting him off Blackhawk and is now only eating chicken carcasses. The injection doesnt seem to have made much difference. He is only eating chicken carcasses at the moment because I want to eliminate the possibility of anything else making him worse. Unfortunately we only rent so ripping up the grass isnt an option but i can perhaps fence off an area for him to relax outside. I am having trouble with finding a vet I trust. The first tested him for ringworm when there wasnt really any indication for them and that was a waste of $300+. So I went to our current one who is lovely but very pushy with raw food diet. So I will look for a canine dermatologist and/or a different vet who is willing to sell me the antihistamines and hope it helps and remember to check for secondary infections.

Hi, We own a beautiful yellow Labrador who is 10 months old that I purchased last year from a breeder from this website. Unfortunately he is a very itchy pup and I hate him being so unhappy when he is itching his feet and tummy. I have tried several different brands of dried food and then went to an elimination diet of kangaroo tails. The conclusion that my vet came to after the elimation diet was that it is most likely a grass allergy. The vet is very pro raw feeding and thinks this will help reduce some of the agitation from the grass. I am wondering if there is some type of test I can get done to find out if he is definitely allergic to grass? I am fairly sure that is what it is. And if that is the problem has anyones dog grown out of it? I know there are tablets that cost $4 a day that can help him but the vet wasnt keen on that option. Has anyone been through this and could you offer any help? He is an inside dog but puppy preschool and so many other things are on grass and it is impacting his daily life. Any help is really appreciated.
