Zeus is a little over 2 years old now and we have recently seen some allergy like changes in him that started when he was about 1 year and 9 months. He had some redness on and in between his paws so the vet gave him some apoquel for a month, an antibiotic for a couple of weeks and claritin. I couldn't really tell of it went away or not but he didn't seem bothered when he finished his medicine so we did not go back for a check up. A few months later we went back because the same symptoms were occuring but he also had some hair loss under his eyes. The vet said it was because his eye boogies would get dry and when we wiped his face, the hair would get pulled off with it. So for that, we got eye drops with antibiotics and his dosage was one drop every 12 hours for 2 weeks. That seemed to take care of the problem. Now though, it seems like all of his symptoms are returning PLUS dry skin! My husband noticed these dry skin, scratch like patches on his back. Has anyone ever encountered this? Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Possibly some home remedies we could try before going to the vet again? Suggested shampoos? He is currently on a raw diet but receives some treats on occasion. We also live in the Houston, TX area where the weather and pollen can be bad and unpredictable. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
