Kobe may be allergic to more than just grain. Allergies are very frustrating to diagnose since they have multiple causes. Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent further licking. Have him examined by your veterinarian to diagnose skin infection (bacterial or yeast). Discuss food elimination trials, allergy testing and hydrolyzed diets as well. A course of antihistamines may be of benefit to prevent itching. Your vet may prescribe one or can recommend an OTC antihistamine for Kobe.
