new member with allergic boxer

[joyurbina]

I just became a member today--yeah---and I am interested in anyone's recommendations for allergies. I have a 2 1/2 year old female boxer. She has been eating her feet daily for over a year now--she never makes them bleed or have sores but it is constant--every couple weeks her ears flare up--she scratches them till they bleed--along with the underside of her chin---she gets pimple like bumps on her neck----she is a happy dog and is not miserable--but I would like this to end sometime--she has ate BARF since she was a puppy---we have taken the holistic approach to this and we have gone through several homeopathic remedies--the one that worked the best was graphites--she has taken it 3 times--it gets better for a few days or so but then it goes right back. I put almond oil on her paws and her ears at night to sooth--temporarily works---I am at a complete loss now--any suggestions are greatly appreciated---Daisy's mom

Hi, and welcome to boxerworld

Sounds as though you've got a few issues going on there with Daisy - might be better to ask those questions in the health issues forum though. More people will see it there, particularly those best placed to respond or make suggestions.

Welcome though There is a ton of useful information to be had on this site, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

Hi and Welcome to you and Daisy. If you do a BW search on allergies, you will find that there are many members here who are dealing with allergy dogs. Ronin is one of them and I found a ton of information just by reading all of the applicable posts. I hope you have a lot of fun here! There are many nice people and like I said, great infomation to be had. ~Megan

Hi and welcome to BW! I have an allergic boy too and he had all those symptoms you described. It's taken quite a while to get to the bottom of it, but we finally worked out it was a food allergy in his case. There can also be environmental causes too, as I'm sure you're aware. We've found the health and feeding forums invaluable for help and information. Hopefully, you'll be able to find some answers here. I really hope you can get it sorted. I know how frustrating and upsetting it can be to see your baby in so much discomfort. Glad you could join us :D
