Loosing Hair and Bald Spots

[Jadadog]

My 8 year old Frenchie has got this horrible skin problem. Been to vet and got Cortisone and had antibiotics, not helping. Now we just started Apoquel 5.4mg to see if it will help her. Hair is just falling out. We have switched to all grain free food /treats. Skin scraps were fine. Keeping her indoors and not out with bugs. She does not itch or lick anywhere. Any help will be very much appreciated. Anita

Poor baby girl! Tis reminds me of a bulldog from another forum... he was in the same shape as your Jada, and it turned out he is allergic to storage mites - once they went to raw food his issues slowly went away. if raw is not an option for you -- try buying small bag of kibble and break it down into ziplock freezer bags -- store the food in the freezer and see if there is any improvement. as with us humans, allergies come and go and what worked for years may not be an allergy.

please keep us posted.

Poor baby, I also agree with @2bullmama try the food thing, plus did your vet check for staff infection?

Poor thing! Hopefully a new diet will help.
