What’s happening to my dog?!

[armedpolak]

The first pic is the food she was eating for the last two years or so. The second pic is food we’re phasing in now while eliminating the previous. Don’t ask me why ask SWMBO Apparently it’s better or something... I dono... I just pay for shit around here

Apoquel could be your best friend's friend.

My 35# dawg gets half of a 16mg caplet every morning as a maintenance dose; add another half in the evening when he gets a raw hotspot.

Without it, he gets red bumps that he scratches, then infection sets in.

You really need to put your dog on a diet, she's way heavier than need be and will pay for it in the coming years.

yes we are aware of that which is why we are changing her diet now. vet said her ideal weight would be around 65 lbs so we have a long ways to go

Almost certainly a low-level constant allergic reaction to whatever you're feeding her. Dogs are supposed to eat as much animal protein as possible, and they love to stuff pet food with garbage grain (corn, rice, etc.) and other plants. Dogs did not evolve to eat anything else but meat.

Try DINOVITE.com

It is a supplement for pets, supposed to do wonders, it really helped my neighbors dog.

+1 to the Dinovite in general.....some dogs DO have trouble with sweet potato. Just a mention, not that she is.

just saw the pic, a mention food allergies usually present themselves with reddening or the ears and or lips, almost always paws are effected also, redness to the webbing, alot of licking feet etc. NOT seeing much redness belly, face or otherwise? Just something to consider, answered your PM as well

Do you treat your yard? Could be that. Skin reactions are often topical. This would also coincide with the "seasonality" that you seem to be experiencing.

Or food. Manufacturers often change the recipe. When Mars bought out Eukanuba, Iams, and Nutro we had people in our rescue network with issues after ingredient changes. I had used Diamond naturals for years until they changed their recipe, then neither of my dogs at the time could tolerate it. My border collie had developed a corn allergy over time and started developing sores from it.

Or topicals. I get a reaction like this on one of my dogs from Advantix.

Or parasites. Internal ones or topical mites can result in skin reactions. Many of my fosters had skin lesions from parasites they came from the track with.

Either way, I agree with above about checking in with another vet at this point. All the best and I hope she's doing better soon.

I can recommend you Boca Vet Clinic, is at the SW corner of Palmetto and Powerline.
Ask for John, I’m sure they will be able to help you out.
