So we talked to the vet again today, and they said there really isn't much they can do, but that there are a couple of options. 1. expensive, on-going allergy tests. 2. Treat him with antibiotics everytime he has a flare up. And 3rd, which we are going to try is to treat him with anti-histamines/ special baths/Fatty acids pills etc.etc. Hopefully this will keep him from itching them and making them worse!!!!
