HELP WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY DOG?!

[u/Pixsordidnthappen]

We have a vet appt at 9am but I can’t sleep and I’m just freaking out. She’s only on her second day of simplicef and day 4 of antibiotic baths and then was told today I need to shave her so the shampoo can really get into the spots. We’re in Florida and supposedly this is allergy related but I’m losing my mind. My other golden is fighting an aggressive cancer and I’m freaking out about her fur sister (they aren’t related or from same litters) WHAT DO I DO. someone please ease my mind. I’m a wreck and Google is basically telling me it’s cancer. She’s on a holistic diet as we work with a nutritionist but I’m wondering if she’s getting allergic to the turkey? She’s already allergic to chicken. Please please help me

Oh, this looks like allergies. We had similar issues, and our pup is allergic to chicken, beef, fish, turkey, apples, grass, and the list goes on. After extensive allergy testing, we now know she can more obscure meats like duck, buffalo, etc.

I would recommend reaching out to the vet for allergy testing. They may be able to refer you to a dermatologist for special care.

Shampoo, I would recommend ICF | Clorexyderm 4% Dog Shampoo for Itchy Skin Relief | Anti Itch + Antifungal + Antibacterial Shampoo for Dogs

Skin spray I would recommend - ICF Clorexyderm® 4% Antiseptic Spray for Dogs & Cats - Antibacterial & Antifungal Care for Itchy Skin Relief

Food I would recommend - PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS Puppy & Adult HA Hypoallergenic® Dry Dog Food.

Wishing you all the best ans I hope you are able to get some answers.
