Hi All. My poor puppy has been scratching a lot so I'm beginning to get concerned. We have our first vet visit on Thursday. (first time at this vet). What should I expect from the vet as far as dealing with this itchy skin? I don't even know where to begin!
She eats Canidae all life stages supplemented with either raw ground beef or chicken liver, cottage cheese or yogurt twice a day, and I give her 400iu of vitamin E and a teaspoon of fish oil everyday.
Should I expect blood tests? Elimination diet? Cortizone Cream?
Her skin does not look raw or anything like that but she does constantly scratch at her belly, legs (front and back) and around her hips.
