Hi All, help please.
We have a Staff/Pharoeh hound cross aged about 6, in the past week he has suddenly come up in LOADS of flat 'nettlerash' type bumps, took him to vets, he had steroid tabs and it went down but as soon as tabs wore off (48hrs) they all came back up. He went back to vets and has Prednicare tabs (corticosteroids) but as soon as they wear off its back. He has been on either JW or Burns for the past 5 years, we have now put him on Burns Pork and spud (since Friday) to try different food ingredients. also washed all his bedding in 'ecover' bio friendly laundry stuff and had good hoover round.
Anyone got any ideas please??? also anyone know roughly how much yorktest costs - he is not insured.
Ta, Chris

Nettles are springing up early this year, have you got any in your garden?  Or have you changed the powder or anything that you usually wash your dogs bedding in?

Hi perrodeagua, ta for coming back so quick, No nettles in garden, could have been that the first time -ie last weekend- but definatly not near any since then, same washing stuff for last umpteen years until the mega bed wash - did all stuff on friday and he is on spares from airing cupboard at present!.
