allergies....help!? for the past 3 yrs she has had a re-occuring rash on her stomach which sometimes becomes infected. we have tried everything topical from antibiotic ointment to steriod creme to anti-itch cream. the vet did blood work and found out she's allergic to almost everything growing and things in our home such as dust mites, etc. She has been on allergy specific injections monthly for 8 months, which have stopped being effective as of one month now. She has been to the vet and gotten a steriod injection this month and antibiotics. This worked for 2 weeks and now she is acting sore when we pick her up and STILL has the terrible rash! Does anyone have any idea of how to help her get relief from this suffering. The vet is also at her wit's end about the situation. Please help, any advice would be helpful.

Food might be the problem.maybe switch her to a high quality food. avoid purina,iams,eukanuba,science diet and all brands or food you can buy at a grocery store.I suggest you get duck and potatoe natural balance.Or natural choice lamb and rice.These are both known to be good for allergys but I think the natural balance duck and potatoe would be best.
