Hello out there! First time poster.
I've had Dexter for about two months, and when we got him, he was eating ProPac dog food and his poops were just fine. After about a week, he developed a serious rash on his stomach, and I took him to the vet. They treated him for allergies with a steroid treatment and told us to change his dog food to Blue Buffalo. After he was off his meds, he got the most severe case of diarrhea I've ever encountered and back to the vet we went. Another round of anti-biotics and now he's eating yogurt with every meal - but then, right after we go to the vet, he starts getting another skin rash, this time on the back of his neck going all the way down to his tail. Another vet visit to put him back on medication and they insist it's from the carrots we give him at treats. So now we're only feeding him the blue buffalo with yogurt, no additions, and he's starting to break out again - we've treated for fleas!
It's easy to see I'm at the end of my rope, any advice on diet or possibly other allergy treatment suggestions would be SO helpful. I really want to help him.
