My 2ps worth.
First thoughts are sarcoptic mange.
Second thought is get some Camrosa ointment - used it very successfully on one of our springers and it cleared up something that looked a lot like this.
Over and out!
I was convinced Allez had sarcoptic mange as he was constantly scratching and rubbing against the furniture, with lumps of hair falling all over the place, our burn had become polluted so I thought he had picked it up from there. Then I took a nit comb to him and was horrified to find some jumpy black things. Straight down to the vet for Frontline spot on and he was right as rain in a couple of days. My dogs all get a few fleas from time to time - from the chickens - so they don't stay on the dogs long.

Re the food, try something else for a little while, I am assuming it is chicken and rice you are feeding, well, maybe it's chicken she's allergic or sensitive to. Or even rice, no-one ever really knows until they hit the nail on the head
Re the homeopathic vet, it's always worth a try, and also, I'd ask the vet, if there is no itching, no nasty hot skin etc, why the steroids? Steroids can reduce immune systems in dogs and in my very humble opinion are far too often sought as the first option without any reason why.
This could be something or nothing, and could be hormonal etc. Have you spoken to her breeder and asked her if she has any ideas that might help? Or at the very least let your breeder know that your Brit has this mystery ongoing. Definately try the brit forum as it might be something someone else has come across.
I'd still ask for a skinscrape btw.
Have you used any flea treatments etc in that area? Just some things to think about Good luck with her,
at the time i took her to the vets she had red hot spots and little yellow spots but even then she did'nt scratch or lick no more than your average dog .
It could be a simple thing like not enough oil in the diet. Have you changed to a lower fat food in the last few months?
You could try some Evening Primrose Oil for a few months it isn't going to do any harm. Start off with 1,000 mg.
York testing is good but in my experience a food allergy/intolerance usually comes about when the dog is fed the same old diet all the time (same would happen to us humans). Intolerances can change quite regularly depending on the amount fed of the particular food causing the intolerance. Sometimes us humans can tolerate some foods on a 3/4 day cycle.
Looking at where it is..... I had somebody ring me the other day with a query about the dog dags. Turned out the dog was allergic to the metal in the rings. The bits that look affected also look like the tags could be reach those parts..... just a thought. _________________ Lesley, Holly (nearly 9) Buddy (2) both rehomes.
