    We have 1.5 year lab, he keeps getting red rashes on his belly and groin area. The vet says it's allergies, gives him prednisone shot and he's good for 8 weeks but the the rash and itch return. I don't want to keep giving him prednisone shots any ideas how to narrow down what's causing the rash? We changed his food to something that doesn't have chicken in it as the vet told us that's high on allergy list.

    Hi - ours used to get a red itchy tummy...turned out it was as a result of running through stinging nettles. He avoids them now...

    Hi there. Sorry to hear your pup is getting sore skin. Have you asked your vet about allergy testing? If they don't offer this themselves, they should be able to refer you to a specialist that does :).
