pitbull rash; pitbull vitamins and care;

Question
my boyfriends brothers pitbull has been itching so bad she starts to bleed and she uses the carpet to scratch her belly..... everytime she goes to the vet they say something different. she is now on iams veterinary formula. and has to drink purified water. she has only been on it for a day. but everything the vet tries seems to not work..... she was on cephalexin 500mg twice a day, and predinsone 20mg once a day. and it seemed to help.... but the day she got off she started itching and scratching and bitting. is the new dog food good or do you have any suggestions?

Answer
Pitbull itchy; Pitbull vitamins; Pitbulls and allergies:
Hi Adrian, Sure I can help your pitbull kid!  A very common problem for this breed.
Ok, I would slowly go off the Iams VET formula and do a mix of Wellness CORE and the Iams /  Make a 50 / 50 mix of the two foods for about 2 weeks.  Then, go 100% of the Wellness Core food only.
YOU can find Wellness Core at your local pet store.


Also, I would like you to give 1 Omega 3 per day : here is a link to the Nature's Sunshine brand?
Give 1 per day long term....

Another good supplement is "Flora Force" by Nature's Sunshine: this is a probiotic and will get rid of excess yeast:
 Give 1 per day for 90 days only.

VERY safe to give this to your baby....

GREAT for the skin/coat, and immune system...
Takes away the itches....
