I need help - I have been to several vets, and no one is on the same page.
Holly is a yellow female - almost 5 and for the last several years we've been dealing with excessive licking of the feet and scratching around the mouth. She also has the bad ears.
We already tried switching food - went from Nutro Max to Solid Gold Bison, and there was not a change. We thought she might be bored, brought in a pup and still not change - continued the licking and scratching.
We have discussed allergy testing with the vet - our current vet is holistic oriented - 3 of the 5 vets there do not think the allergy test will tell us much saying whatever she is exposed to right before the test will "pop" and not be able to determine accuracy.
I just want some help for my girl...I feel so bad for her, and I don't know what to do. We have tried Bendryl and Chlortrimaton and that doesn't do much.
The vet is wanting to put her on steroids permanently----what to do?
