My dog has a chicken allergy, but her skin and paw sores won't heal.

Question

Hello so for about 2 months my baby girl Crystal has had these spots in her fur. She sheds a lot and has two sores on her paws. Just recently I found out she has a chicken allergy. So I’ve stopped feeding her chicken but it seems as though she still having the same problems. What could this be?

It will take about 8 weeks before the skin lesions will heal related to the chicken allergy. You can give her an omega 3 fatty acid supplement which will to maintain better skin health. If her skin does not heal up completely with 2 months or if it gets worse, I recommend to have Crystal examined by the veterinarian to check for other causes of skin lesions. Changing her diet to Royal Canin or Nutro may also help as these diets are good for skin health. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
