--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone!
This is my first time on the site and am hoping you can help...
I have a six month old F1b male named Onyx. He is my world! About a month ago, he started developing small bumps on his front leg and on one of his rear flanks. They look almost like skin tags and are very itchy. After taking him to the vet...several times...we were unable to find the cause. Since then, I've changed his diet and removed all of his raw hide treats.
The rash appears to be going away and his itching has dramatically decreased. In fact, it looks great! So, I'm assuming it was just a food allergy... It also appears that his coat may be changing although I was unaware that F1b's coats change...??
I guess I wanted to just double check with other doodle owners to see whether or not this could be something I should continue looking into medically or check to see if there were any other reasons as to why he might have developed a rash...
Any ideas??
Thanks so much!
Jamie
