I said this to the vet and she said basicly.. running allergy tests is VERY expensive so lets try this 1st ... some logic... he is insured after all...

"running allergy tests is VERY expensive so lets try this "
I wanted to add that I'd want a referral to a derm vet long before I would consider intradermal testing. JMO.
I've done it (with more than one dog), and it's the gold standard for environmental allergen identification, but nothing here says atopy to me, unless I missed something major.
Also, you are feeding a good quality fish body oil for Omega 3's and Vit. E? His diet looks good, but just wanted to make sure you are giving this as a supplement.

Connie -
no, but said they could be hiding in the hair folicals (if this doesnt work, they'll do "deep" skin sample + allergy tests)
"Has there been consideration of a derm vet referral?" - not yet, going through the obvious 1st i think is the plan.

havent given any suppliment yet he gets best part of 500g of fish every week tho. after this started i have ordered some salmon oil, probatics to add to his feed. will start to add them soon. atm he's getting used to apple cider vinegair with mother. so next week its oil. As far as vitamin E is, he gets spinach every day as part of his veg portion.
