We've got a long reducing course of steroids antibiotics and anti fungal tablets with wipes to clean his feet chest and outside of his ears when been out for a walk. We're going back for allergy testing at some point. He is much worse when it's hot in the summer or when the heating is on. If that's down to pollen heat or stirring up dust mites I'm not sure yet.
Bills part raw fed but as a friend pointed out this isn't grain free as it's chicken which was probably fed on grain and he has hills kibbles for tea. It's all a learning curve but just want him to settle and pain free.

Hope you get sorted, we had our Westie Allergy tested he is allergic to chicken but we have had a flare up of the ears again!
