Re: [pyrnet] Allergies in Pyrs?

Hmmm. Puzzling. My suggestion is to write down absolutely
everything you feed her for several months. (and I mean
everything) and look for a pattern. I did this with my bitch of
many years ago, which is how I discovered she had a severe dairy
allergy. We had her tested for allergies (RASS or RASP blood
test. Sorry, so long ago I can't remember) and it cmae back as
mild flea dermatitis, with no other allergies. They suggested it
might be a food allergy. We did the keeping the journal of her
outbreaks thing, the elimination diet, and figured out she was
allergic to dairy (most severe), beef, wheat and corn.
