My 2 year old female English setter (adopted 8 months ago) has a chronic skin problem. We’ve had 4 visits to the vet/3 different vets. They say she has no parasites, but DERMATITIS. We tried antibiotics with a topical cream, then the same antibiotics and a type of topical foam and the problem still persists, and now it’s worse.
I also tried changing the diet, she was on a lamb and rice, and fish and rice dog food, and no change. then I tried a natural diet with rica and/or pasta with vegetables and meat or chicken. No change.
My latest attempt is homeopathic remedy – ‘sulfer’ granuals – but still no change.

Her skin is very pink and in places there are small red bumps (no pus, there is a large dry ulcer near her neck which has never fully healed and that she scratches, and she often bites near her feet and bum. She scratches everywhere and also on her face. Her coat is thin and course (not sure if this is because she may be a ES cross) and she like to be warm and near the heater.
She hasn’t been spayed yet.

Anyone have any ideas???? I’m at a loss here!
thanks!!!!
