<DIV>my basset boy Chance..at the age of 10 weeks we discovered was allergic to wheat.. I spent 6 months cooking</DIV>
<DIV>rice and adding one flavor at a time to see what else he would react to.</DIV>
<DIV>Beef, wheat, chicken, wheat germ, soy,</DIV>
<DIV>then at the age of 6 months we had allergy test ran.. Tomatoes, which he loved to steal off the vine,</DIV>
<DIV>grass, dust mites. feathers, birch pollen (we had 5 birch trees at the time) wool.. we had a wool carpet.. </DIV>
<DIV>I taught him to lay on a blanket or in a bed in that room. </DIV>
<DIV>He took generic benedryl and or another generic that starts with a c ( I am not home so I can't go look in his doggy book)</DIV>
<DIV>Occasuinally he would get so bad that he would have to do a round of prednisone.</DIV>
<DIV>Hots spots, the rashes in all the undercarriage spots. the licking..</DIV>
<DIV>I used to smear his underbelly, pits, and his genitals lightly with desitin ointment then powder him with cornstarch. then he could lay out in the yard without breaking</DIV>
<DIV>out..He was sometimes a very pitiful site.. </DIV>
<DIV>Best of luck with your little guy,,</DIV>
