For those who may notice allergies in their dogs, with or without paw licking, this site may help http://www.pawlicking.com/home.html

I have noticed Ellie has developed a little rash, so I am reading up on things and thought this site useful.

Well he used to get steroid injections and ear drops but i wasnt too
happy about him having constant steroids as i worry about side effects.
I had him on thornit and he was a lot better but dont know if his body
just got used to it as then it came back.He had a steroid injection about
5 weeks ago and i give him an antihistamine tablet every day,so far he is
fine(touch wood)I do have to clean his ears a lot,sometimes every day
and i put ear drops in a few times a week.

Thanks hun, what antihistamine tablet do you use and where do you get it from? I want to find out (obviously) what is causing Ellie's problem, but if I can't maybe the tab will help her.

My family seem to think it's the heat causing it at the moment, but I really don't know, I have put her on RAW, hopefully I will see an improvement on her but who knows with these things, Bev has is having big problems with one of her poor boys.

Update on Ellie

I read a few interesting things on the net, one is that chicken can be tricky for some dogs, so I have put her on a non chicken diet, my friend who used to breed Rough Collies said to give her some Vit C as it can really help with skin complaints, which I have done ......................................

And guess what... :2879: the allergy has gone Allergies and Paw licking 867525

she has a few scabs left, I am so pleased, whatever caused it.

I will just have to try and find out if it's the chicken or the Vit C that was the prob, but there is time for that
