pesh Posted Sunday at 11:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:21 PM Hi All This little girl has allergies to beef, lamb and chicken. Yes, she's been to the vets. The owner is trying out the Lyka meals in hope they will reduce the ear itching. I'm no longer up to date on all of this kind of thing, so what would your suggestion be? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted Sunday at 11:54 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:54 PM has she tried venison or kangaroo, rabbit or fish ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted Monday at 12:08 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:08 AM Have the ears been examined for hair, inflammation, infection or poor anatomy? The ear itching may not be related to the allergies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted Monday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:01 AM I'd try the slow cooked Prime 100 SPD Wild Boar and some probiotics like Synbiotic D-C which is just a plain powder, no added flavours. Both available online. And a request that the vet try the new month-long ear med. (it's not twice daily drops. It is squirted right down the ear canal and stays there). Plucking the ear hair if there is any, is usually recommended also. We make sure the underside of their floppy ears, is clippered extra short to allow better airflow. Allergies effecting the skin/ears make yeast and then bacteria. I'm guessing you already know that having had dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Kisses Posted Tuesday at 12:45 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:45 AM It’s an annoying thing to hear but I’d go back to the vet. Sometimes it can be a process of deduction where we try first line interventions then move on to the next thing. When we just try tips and tricks that others have found helpful, we can end up spending a lot of money on things that were never going to help or have much of an impact, only to end up in the same place of needing more veterinary work ups and treatment. Meanwhile the dog is suffering… and humans also annoyed by the constant scratching! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted Tuesday at 05:24 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:24 AM I agree but tips and tricks are what you'll get from dog owners PK, and is pretty much why people ask on Dol about any dog topic. Everyone likes to gather information here and there from other dog owners. Saying that, we've no idea if the vet has been the one to suggest a change of diet or if everything has been tried for treating the ears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
