My dog has scabbing on his floppy ears, which bleed when he shakes his head. This is a cycle that occurs over and over. He is on predisone and allergy meds, he eats a raw diet, which cleared up his constant vomiting and loose stool. I really would love to get him off the meds, but his sinus issues are severe as well. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

My Maltese had the same thing happen but it was all over his body. Meds didn't work so I changed his diet from expensive canned dog food from the vet to boiled chicken strips that we cut up into tiny pieces along with crushed dog vitamins from the health food store. He is fine now and never been bothered again.
My Cairn terrier constantly chewed his skin until his hair was gone. He was miserable. We changed his diet and he would improve for 6 months or so and then go back to chewing himself.
Simple, apple cider vinegar with plain yogurt mixed with raw turkey and brown rice diet. Make sure it is all organic. It works, my dog is doing great and I saved so much money on dog food and vet bills, no more!

I have a boxer dog who has severe skin allergies. Can anyone please tell me a remedy to get rid of it?
I have a 2 year old Maltese/Bishon who weighs 8lbs. She's been on Natural Balance since she was a puppy. She's had skin problems with allergies, but last weekend she started scratching and biting her hips and paws so bad they bled.
