Well, we brought Sadie to the vet yesterday. She has been doing very well since her seizures right before Christmas but her skin is super irritated again, like in the beginning of her Epilepsy. She was on a grain free diet then due to her dad being highly sensitive to it where it would inflame his bowl and was a nightmare we finally sorted out by week 12 with him.

The vet put her on Prednisone for the itching and Amoxicillin for the lesions, we can not longer give her her pills in cheese so she gets peanut butter and loving that, and we have to change her dog food again. It is predicted to take upwards of 3 weeks to resolve but about 1 week to start to see improvement. Poor dog. She just can't get ahead of the ball.

Aww poor girl

We will take it over our other options but I feel so bad for her. Under Vet orders we spent 2 weeks trying Benedryl to see if it would ease the itching but nothing.

Ugh hate skin issues. Can be so hard to treat.

Ugh hate skin issues. Can be so hard to treat.

The poor dog had them and they went away while on a sulfa antibiotic but picked up fleas while in the vet for seizures. and once we FINALLY got those under control, the skin issues came back. This has been an extreme battle since September for her with the itching be it from the skin issues or fleas...

I picked up some natural balance duck and sweet potato dog food tonight and we will be switching them over to that to see if it helps.
