Hello, my dog is 12, and until 3 years ago had very few skin problems, had lovely shiny fur.
We moved to this house 3 years ago and every summer she gets terrible itchy skin and loses her hair on her tummy. It is nearly always fairly controllable but this year it has got out of control.
Her ski is dry and flaky and red. she has no hair under her stomach, around her bum, and now i notice she is losing it on her back
She takes piriton daily (5ml twice per day) but obviously this treats the symptoms not the cause.
I have an appointment (reluctantly) for her on wednesday because this year it has gone on too long, and if I don't act she will be bald.
I say reluctantly because the vet historically tries to take skin samples etc to no avail except a very high bill
is there anything else I can try if the vet cannot help? because I am not going down the allergy testing route again..
TIA
