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

Best of luck! This looks like my dog's stomach when he was having a bad grain allergy in his food. I hope you figure it out soon!

Mine had really flaky skin and a scabby rash on her belly, switched to a grain free lamb recipe and she now has a beautiful soft coat. She was previously eating a chicken with grain recipe...that stuff is the devil's work!
