Chronic dog yeast infection: Could a no-starch diet be the solution?

Question

Franklin has been struggling with a yeast problem for months! He has been to the vet and has had iramine 4mg tablets , cephalexin 200mg and nutriderm shampoo but he's finished all the meds weeks ago and no improvement, most people has been suggesting a no starch diet, would that help ? Please help Franklin. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 15 days old | 22 lbs

Franklin needs to see a veterinary dermatologist. If he has a food allergy then a novel protein or hypoallergenic diet may help. However, dogs with atopy (allergies) can be allergic to many things such as dust, grass and fleas. Ideally, he needs to have an intradermal skin test to determine what he is allergic to and then a vaccine can be made to help him.
