You may want to keep a notebook on what's going on when she has flare ups. Did she have any treats, what was the weather like, any flea treatments used, any stress in the home, any new cleaning products used, what food she ate.

This is great advice....

I have had my EBs tested for allergies and it is so worth it because it takes the guesswork out of it. Turned out both of them had really bad food allergies and the results helped me find a food they could both eat! I had been feeding them food they were allergic to!

Thank you everyone for the advice! Keeping a log would be a great idea. Her rash has started to clear up so I'm hoping I don't have to make another vet trip for allergies. If it continues after allergy seasons then I will have to get her tested.

Since the rash seems to come in go.. is it still possible that it's from the food? My thought would be that it would be constant if it was food related but I really have no idea.

Laundry soap/Fabric softener are often skin allergy causes.
You can give regular Benadryl for itching
