Food allergies or something else?
Hi everyone! I have 2 one year old wheaten terriers. Over the past 6 months Quinn has developed what the vet believes is a food allergy. It started with circular sore on his abdomen . Ring worm was ruled out. Vet says bacterial infection, meds seemed to have handled it. Then he started to develop more itchy spots and scabs. He chews on his forepaws and scratches constantly. He's been on Royal Canin Ultamino food for over 10 weeks with no real improvement. His sister Chloe has a few scabby spots but nothing like him.
I was wondering is anyone else has a similar experience? Also, we are thinking that maybe it's not a food allergy, maybe environmental or food sensitivity? The bowel movements are pretty regular and appear normal.
I would really like to find relief for our poor puppy and would like to get off the very expensive prescription food. I will spend $$ on a quality food but I am a t a loss as to what to do next. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
