[QUOTE="donna723, post: 316118, member: 1883"] Lisa, Molly's skin problems could be caused by an allergy to all the corn that is in the Ol' Roy dog food. Corn is the main ingredient in foods like that and many, many dogs are allergic to it. My Ragan is allergic to corn and had problems just like that. I didn't figure it out until I put them on a food [U]without[/U] corn and her skin cleared up! There really isn't a good solution though because virtually all of the lower priced pet foods have corn as the main ingredient. It's the cheap way out for the manufacturers because corn is just a filler - dogs can't digest corn - it goes right through them, and it is a very common allergen. She could be having yeast problems on her skin too. Ragan gets that too. And yeast infections of the skin could be the cause of the odor. Ragan's problem usually only happens in the summer. She sometimes gets little red irritated patches on her belly, she scratches a lot, and she gets that odor. She also gets moist patches in her 'armpits' and looks broken out under there. It's a lot easier to spot on a Boston because they have so little hair underneath. They can get yeast infections in their ears too. They're more common in dogs whose ears hang down but Katy gets them once in a while too. The insides of her ears get red and they feel hot. [/QUOTE]
