ok every body
 

have a small probelm, need some advice! i have a pin that has dermatice on the lower part of his mouth around the lip line! i have used panolg, plus poli sporen and vasalenine, kaladola, and now im trying isles paste for diaper rash any ideas would be great, and yes he has seen a vet about it, brenda and the pins

Could it be allergy-related, Brenda?

he is on r d , i have tried many dog foods, in the past few months , the r.d for over a yr, were stumped, brenda and the pins.

Have they done a scraping for demodex mange? I knew a beagle that had a very localized patch for a very long time... :shrug: It's a long shot, though, since normally the mange would spread... :o

What dog foods have you tried? Any with a single novel protein and carb source (like venison and sweet potato)? The R/D is pretty horrible stuff, consisting mostly of corn (common allergen), soy (also common allergen) and sawdust (which is basically what 'powdered cellulose' is). I would seriously revist the diet issue, even if it isn't directly causing the skin problem.

Allergies to food often take time to develop, sometimes even years.
