Pets and Health Problems

Our little Boston Terrier, Holly, started scratching at her face and ears. She scratched so much her eye was swollen and her face was bloody on one side. We couldn't figure out what was wrong. In checking into it, we found that she had become allergic to her dog food. We changed dog food to a very healthy brand about 2years ago so we were surprised to learn she had become allergic to it. We changed back to a brand she had eaten for many years and her itching stopped and her face cleared up. She had to wear one of those collars for several weeks so she couldn't reach her face until the new dog good got through her system and she quit itching. She is a happy little dog again and happy to be rid of that collar.
