Just because the breeder's other litters didn't show signs of allergies doesn't mean yours won't have an allergy to the corn. Dogs like people are individuals and allergies aren't necessarily genetically passed along. But as someone mentioned, a lot of allergies are environmental. But it is important to "test" to find out - make detailed notes on when the hot spots become most irritating; is it right after the dog has been outside after a rain where soil molds become an issue; are there certain blankets or crate pads that cause an issue; and don't forget to run a food test eliminating corn, as it might not be the corn but some other ingredient.
Northern NJ area Vets? Clinics who can do venous blood gas test?
-
Fanconi has recently reared its ugly head with my 9 year old basenji. Id like to get him treated but all of my local vets have very little knowledge with it, along with the Gonto protocol. The vet currently handling my basenji does not have the capabilities for venous blood gas testing and im having a hard time finding someone who can. Is anyone here from north jersey? Do you h ave any suggestions on vets or clinics to get the test done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
