My dog reacted to beef and lamb. Could he be allergic to salmon too?

Could panda be allergic to salmon as I have found beef and lamb make him itchy so changed him onto salmon slowly but he refused to eat unless I added meat to his bowl on Sunday he wouldn't eat at all took to vet he had a very noisy tummy that was very tender he felt very tight in the tummy he gave him a dexadresan injection and gave us a can of chicken and rice he ate that and tummy feels soft and he is eating biscuits with lamb and kangaroo so I wondered if he was reacting to the salmon .

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, it could be that he is also allergic to salmon. You can consider a sensitive stomach type diet which does not contain that protein to see if there is improvement. You could also try chicken as a main protein now in his next diet. Good luck and have a good day!
