  OFF TOPIC! We have a dog that has severe skin issues. Breaks out in a bad smell, turns red all over and gets lumpy looking. It is a yeasty bacteria per the vet he's been going to. He is already on limited ingredient food "Van Patton Natural Balance", but the issue seems to be progressive. At first he only had to go to the vet once a year for a break out now as soon as he is done with the steroids and antibiotics, it immediately starts coming back. We've switched him to another flavor of the same food brand and that did not change the situation. We can't keep him on steriods every three months. He is a white, very short hair bull dog. QUESTION: Is there a vet that specializes in this type of situation, maybe even holistically? QUESTION: Do you know of any other food or supplements that help?

  Also, there is a pet allergist in Carrollton. Reed Garfield 972-267-3800. A neighbor used him and he tested for sensitivities and came up with a shot that helped a lot when his dogs skin flared

  Catherine C. asked:

  **Lab Owners** I have a 2 1/2 year old Chocolate Lab that seems to have allergies. He is forever licking his feet and in between his pads on his front, they continuously stay red and swollen. We have tried steroids, changing food, and he's been on antibiotics. We have never had him allergy tested. Want to find a resolution for him so he is comfortable. He can not stand his feet touched!! He has also started with lots of eye boogers...for lack of a better word! Can anyone offer any advice on allergy testing and how much you've paid and where you went for the testing? Thanks!!

  Animal Dermatology Referral Center www.dermvets.com At least go in for a consult to get their opinion and prices. Dr. Crow is awesome. Allergies are frustrating and if you don't opt for testing and immunotherapy, often it is just finding the right maintenance protocol (antihistamines, foot baths etc). BUT you have to make sure you've treated any infections (bacteria or yeast) first as you will never control the itch without eliminating those infections. You test for these infections by doing cytology- looking at samples under the microscope for the presence of yeast or bacteria. Hope that helps.
