Hi Merrill! I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but when the vet said to change Samantha's food due to a possible allergy - I went to Agway and compared the Eukanuba Reduced Fat to the regular Iams chunks. We had switched about a yr ago to the reduced fat(since Belle Ann is a chub)from the Iams. The difference in the two is primarily fish & flax(in the reduced,not in the Iams). So we're switching back to Iams to see if that may be it. Possibly it's the fish oil that's bothering your lab.Just an idea. Good luck! Casmeow

Hi, I just read about the labs infections and am so relieved that we are not alone. Chesapeake moved in about a year ago in horribly neglected shape. his allergies are overwhelming! He takes fish oils and antihistamine and even with the vet, there is little relief. He is constantly flapping his ears and rubbing his body against the carpet.
Any suggestions? You seemed to have a good understanding of the problem. And yes, weve changed from all natural chicken to lamb.
Now he is starting ti SMELL. Im open to ideas if you have some. Thanks, Merrill
