Did a scrape tape test, he has very very high level of yeast, pollen and Bacteria on his skin.
Ears checked and clearly he has infection.
We really need to find out exactly what he is allergic to so we can stop him having these nasty rashes and infections all the time.
The vet recommended the Idexx Allergy Elias which cover 48 allergens.
And allergen blood test which covers the food side. Just these 2 tests cost a bit over $1000. The total bill so far costed me $1836.
This is part of the reason why you need money if you want a dog, especially a Newfoundland.
The vet said once the test results comes back in about a month, we will know what to do to treat whatever he is allergic to, the professor will provide solution if there is one.
Lucky we brought insurance, it covers $1500 of this bill.
Looks like I got to reduce my shopping and eat less now .
It is going to take a month to know the results, now I have to stop all sugar, carbohydrate and dairy related food, just in case if he is allergic to yeast or dairy!
