Hello. It sounds like you dog has food allergies, which can cause the secondary conditions you listed. Dogs with food allergies often cannot ever eat normal dog foods. If she's doing well on the fish and sweet potato diet, that's what I would leave her on because new food will flare her allergic response. Also ask your vet about Apoquel. This is safer and more effective option than prednisone. This medication works just on the allergic response and is safe. I'd have your vet check her and see if that's right for her, as well as try a hypoallergenic diet like z/d of Ultamino. Best to you and your dog!
