The last few days are also adding a fish oil capsule on it. We have a under sink filter on the water she drinks. Poop is OK

I am sorry to hear about your Bichon's allergies. One of my borzoi has seasonal allergies that only bother him from around late August until around now (mid to late November) and then they totally disappear. Over the years we have tried changing food, using medicated baths, feet wipes, Benadryl and now this year we added raw honey and doggy fish oil capsules. So far nothing has had any impact ever or been helpful, unfortunately. I was hoping that when we finally moved to TV his problems would be left behind in PA. From reading this post it doesn't look like that's going to happen. <sigh>

With a small dog you have to be careful with the oils, too much can cause pancreatitus (sp??), if you look on the internet you can find out the dosage based on weight. Another idea is raw salmon (including the skin), but again, not much for a small dog.

Local honey is good, not local doesn't do much, the whole earth pet food store has local honey, the farmers market might have it too.
