So yesterday I had a consult with a lady here in town who is sort of known as the guru of dog skin problems. We talked for an hour and a half and she reviewed all of Charlie's vet records and made several recommendations and all of this was FREE!
She is a wonderful woman who owns a local pet shop and her biggest interest is skin conditions, which she has been researching for about 40 years so she has seen it all.
Interestingly, she doesn't think Charlie has allergies at all. She thinks he has a bacterial infection and also a very low immune system (which I already knew that part).
I have been going crazy trying to find something that will help him and evaluating all the different approaches and what to do first. I am so glad that I talked to Karen and I'm going to let her manage Charlie's care for a while and see what happens. It takes soooo much pressure off me to have someone I trust to help me make decisions!
