I will need help from anyone who’s dog/dogs have/had allergies
After I switched Lily from raw to a kibble she got a couple of little bumps with red area around it in between her two toes on each front paw. She didn't lick it and it didn't seem to bother her at all. She was on grain-free Nature's Variety (chicken for 4-5 months, then rabbit and then duck).
She had problems putting on weight due to Lyme’s and super pickiness. I decided to put her on kibble with oats and rice. She has been eating it for about a month and now she is licking one of her paws. It has gotten red and somewhat moist.
I called my vet and they recommended seeing a dermatologist.
Since it is just started and she has no other symptoms (her coat and skin are great) I was wondering:
1. Do you have to see a dermatologist or can you send a blood sample to the lab to test food allergies?
2. How much does the test cost in your area?
3. What are the most allergy causing foods?
4. Could it be something else? (I don't think it's a hot spot as I had dogs with it and I know how it looks)
Any ideas and suggestions are super appreciated
I will post a picture later on
