		<title>Dog Allergy Blood Test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it has been another 5 weeks since I started the amended elimination diet with Maddie.
Today the vet and I had our call to evaluate the progress.
Note that I called her today for a few very specific reasons:

Venison roast at $10.99 a pound is not sustainable for this family&#8217;s budget
I have boiled and chopped enough potatoes to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chicken Does Not Belong in an Elimination Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been six weeks since I started Maddie on the elimination diet in the hopes of controlling her itching and scratching.
And for that six week period I have been diligently making the food mention in Dog Food Allergy Elimination Diet.
Maddie loved it.
Could not wait to eat.
Licked the design off the bowl!
Yesterday it was time for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog Food Allergy Elimination Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Previously I’ve shared the challenges of Maddie and her rather recent flair up of scratching.
Last week, while I was at the vet for the cat I asked the doctor about food allergies.
Mind you, I’m no rookie when it comes to dogs that can’t stop licking, scratching, creating hot spots, or otherwise making themselves, and me, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Proper Use of Benadryl for Dogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last post Maddie’s incessant licking and scratching was discussed.
A new development is that she has now added licking her paws to the mix.
The last time I was at the vet she suggested Benadryl. As an antihistamine it was supposed to help, along with bathing with a gentle oatmeal based shampoo.
Truth be told I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maddie Licks Her Vulva and Scratches Way Too Much</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if one dog in the house was not enough fun, recently we added a second.
Meet Maddie.
As a rescue from the Orange County Animal Shelter (aka Death Row), she was in beat up condition when I rescued her. Not that she was injured per se &#8211; she had just had a rough life to that that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog Itches Nonstop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Poor Annie
In the latest round of skin issues we went to the vet with another flare up of her skin.
Her belly was bright red and she was miserable. And so were we, since she would lick all night long.
The vet decided that it was time to take a culture of the infected area and see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does My Dog Have A Skin Allergy, Cushing&#8217;s Disease, Or Worse?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last 6 months Annie (pictured at right) has been in, what we thought, was a simple aggravating battle with skin allergies. Just another annoying case of dog allergies that often plague our pets, right?
Her symptoms at various times were:

 chewing      herself, primarily around her rump
dandruff    [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hypoallergenic Dogs &#8211; Good Dogs For People With Allergies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My cousin Carl had a really difficult decision.
His 8 year old, Bethany, was ready for the responsibility of a pet. After lots of discussion and research he and Bethany agreed that a dog would be a welcomed addition to the family.
The problem was that Carl was allergic to dogs.
Growing up in a household that loved [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog Allergy Shots &#8211; Hyposensitization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Years ago when I was a kid my parents send me to an allergist to get allergy shots. This was an effort to cure mold, mildew and ragweed allergies.
Now as a &#8216;parent&#8217; of Annie I am tempted to try allergy shots to cure her dog allergies. So just as people have this treatment, so can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vegetarian Dog Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, as in the last 12 month or so, our dog has developed really painful and annoying itching, scratching, chewing and skin rash issues. During this time we have tried medicated shampoos, endless courses of antibiotic treatments, steroid therapy, and now vegetarian dog food.
We arrived at this new food experiment during research of traditional dog [...]]]></description>
