Apoquel
Just looked that up. Interesting. I'll check it out.
It has gotten worse today. I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow or Sat.

I went this past week and the vet at first was going to do steroid shot but then ended up going this route. He said to try for 2 weeks and if it helps to continue for a month or 2.
Hoping it works!
How long has she been on it?

She just started the medication. Probably 3 days in at this point. She isn’t going outside to fake pee and scratch her face off instead anymore.
I am optimistic at this point. It has worked better than any of the steroid treatments and food experiments prescribed earlier.

Do not use Apoquel, Read up on it. Apoquel shuts off the receptors and destroys the immune system.
It’s only recommended to be used for 2 weeks but most dogs can’t ever get off of it once they’re on it. It will be a matter of time before the dog has something more serious to happen to him on that stuff.
Look into a cytopoint injection if you must. It’s a little bit pricier but it’s a much safer alternative to Apoquel.

Thanks man. I'm gonna discuss all of this with my vet on Monday. I've switched her food and hoping that makes a difference.

Thanks for the info.
Switching today if possible.

Just read up on it, there’s a lot of good info about it out there. Read up on cytopoint as well.
One of our vets loved Apoquel and denies any side effects to it, since the drug is still relatively new there’s no long term side effects to actually report. Our other vet and my breeder had warned me about it so I ultimately transitioned my dog off of it, which wasn’t easy. Since his immune system was compromised it made him even more itchy to different things coming off the drug.

How much money does she have with her?

What do you feed?
mine eats grain free Blue Buffalo salmon with a lb of raw venison.
I think a lot of labs have chicken and grain allergies and that’s a very common ingredient in 99% of foods. Its expensive but her coat is always shiny and she is built like a bodybuilder.

She's a real picky eater....so I've been feeding her Picky No More by Biljac

Likely allergies. Food allergies account for less than 10% of all allergies in dogs and grains are not the issue. Food allergies are typically to proteins and grains are low in protein. Grain free diets are a marketing ploy, nothing more. Recently grain free diets containing lentils and peas have been implicated in causing heart disease in dogs, Most common allergen in food - beef. Then dairy, chicken, then wheat, soy and lamb. Best bet to help skin not caused by food allergy is fish based diet because if the anti inflammatory properties of the omega 3 fatty acids

Staph infection probably secondary to the allergy

When was she in water last? Could be she needs a good scrub to get something irritating her from muddy water.
Check for fleas, roll her to expose her belly you will see them in the thinner hair.
