continued about allergies

Finishing up on Daisy.  They could not do surgery again.  So I left the vet's office around 10pm without Daisy.  I let her go.  I could not let her live in pain. 

Back up a little on Daisy.  I had allergy testing done.  That poor dog was allergic to everything including me.  She was allergic to grass, trees, all but one fish, pork, chicken, turkey, beef.  Oddly enough, not duck.  So I was cooking every few days for her. 

Jock came to me around 2009.  About 3 years ago, he developed a cough.  Off to the vet we went.  I was told it was allergies.  I declined the tests this time and just experimented with food.  I do know he does not tolerate chicken well.  But I could not stop the cough.  The vet guessed it was environmental.  So he is on antihystimines. 

Now to Honey.  Honey is a black mouth cure, a farm dog.  I found her out in the country in the middle of nowhere.  She had just been dumped and she was a really skinny 6 week old pup.  This was mid 2015.  Last year, she developed a rash on her stomach and got yeast infections in her ears.  She was scratching her skin off.  So off to the vet.  He told me to change food.  I did.  The one I was using was a chicken protein.  I changed to turkey, but it still contained chicken.  Still scratching.  So I went high dollar limited ingredient duck and lentil.  It cleared up but she was still scratching.  So I tried the fish and sweet potato. Same thing.  So now I cook.  Again.  And she is on antihystimines.  So we have also messed up our pets systems.
