    3 boys, same litter

    All 3 boys from the same litter. We picked out 2 at the breeder, but when it came time to bring them home they had 1 left because the original buyer had backed out. And the hubby just could not leave him behind all alone.

    I am just racking my brain on how/why this happened to all of them at the same time. I know quite a bit about food allergies, When I was 12 and had the old time scratch test I tested positive for 98 different substances. As time went on I developed a tolerance to most of them so its not bad at all now for me, but for them - it kills me whenever they are in pain or suffering.

    Once I spoke the language of the flowers,

    Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,

    Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,

    And shared a conversation with the housefly

    in my bed.

    Once I heard and answered all the questions

    of the crickets,

    And joined the crying of each falling dying

    flake of snow,

    Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .

    How did it go?

    Have you asked the breeder if any of the rest of the litter developed allergies?

    Unfortunately I can't she's gone. The neighbors tell me car accident. I don't know anyone else who had gotten puppies from that or any other litter for that matter.
    But man that would have been a GREAT idea

    Dogs naturally develop allergies suddenly, especially to corn and grain because they aren't supposed to have it in their diet. Their bodies aren't made for it. Allergies are one of the top problems with dogs these days. So it's definitely not uncommon. I don't think a corn allergy would have anything to do with flea medicine at all... The only thing that flea meds could possibly do would be give a skin reaction and cause skin allergies maybe. It's probably just your luck that that all occurred at the same time. Or maybe they had a reaction to the flea medicine which made their immune response down slightly and now the true allergies to corn are coming through?
