More skin troubles...

Well, after almost a month on Atopica (which we thought was working well) Gracie sprouted a new belly full of bumps literally overnight!  So back to the Doctor she went.  We have decided to continue the Atopica, which does seem to be curbing the infection a bit and we have put her on a hypoallergenic diet to rule out a food allergy.  She can now only eat her prescription diet venison/potato food, and hypoallergenic treats, which are very difficult to find!  She is very sad that she no longer can act as our vacuum cleaner or have rawhide chewies or Beggin Strips.  If this new food doesn't work I may pull my  hair out.  Dr. Blakeley tells me that a skin transplant isn't likely.

Good luck-and thanks for the note on Holly. Having a diagnosis did give me some comfort and closure.
