I gradually changed Stig's food to Fromm Salmon a la veg from Loyall puppy 3 weeks ago and noticed some great differences. This includes firmer and lesser stools, huge increase in energy and less itchiness. But he still gets 1 or 2 new hives a week. Would it be a great idea if I change his food again at this time? I'm thinking of trying a different protein such as lamb.
My main concern is that because of his allergies, he hasn't received his second set of vaccinations yet. He turned 6 months this past Sept 24th. We went to the vet this past Sat hoping he's well enough to get vaccinated, but the vet was still concerned about his hives and gave us an oatmeal based shampoo and instructed to give Stig a bath once a week. She was kind enough not to charge us for the appointment, only for the shampoo!
So now, Stig broke into more hives either because of the new shampoo or because of my parent's carpets. (We visited them on the weekend). He's not scratching, but I can tell he's uncomfortable. What should I do? Should I ask for an allergy test to be done? The next vet appointment is this Sat.
