So sorry Saga is having this issue. Allergies are very tough to deal with. My best recommendation is for you to have her allergy tested. As you can see, you can spend a lot of time and money trying this and that but unless you know what the underlying allergy is all you are doing is treating the symptoms. You need to find out what she is allergic to. It may be food or it may be something in the environment. I recommend you get her to a veterinary dermatologist in your area as they will be able to do the testing and give you the best course of treatment. If you are not close to this one they may be able to refer you to one in your area: http://www.rvc.ac.uk/small-animal-referrals/dermatology Hope this helps. Best wishes.
