Very interesting to read all the allergy problem remedy suggestions. Poor little Molly has had terible itchies down here in FL, hot spots developing, red and itchy under her arms and inside her legs. They seemed to disappear when the frosts came and the grasses stopped growing. However, at the same time they began again, I had also changed her forever food, Purina Little Bites, to Purina Beneful. Now the itchies are back with a vengeance. I bought an expensive spray from a farm store, designed to treat hot spots, itchiness, redness, etc. in many animals, and it seems to work a bit. BUT----the itchies are still there, from paw gnawing to scratching to chewing. (No fleas, and she is on monthly feaa and Tic stuff anyway.)
So....that same store gave me some samples of glueten-free foods (which I left back in the trailer) and I guess I need to try these to see if they make a difference. I still think it;s something in the grasses down here that are causing Molly's problems, but I could be wrong. She has always been a hardy little creature, with no itchy problems at all, and it's driving me crazy to try to control it, not to mention driving her crazy with being itchy!
