Hi!  I am new to the group.  I have a question for chihuahua owners who 
have knowledge concerning chihiahua health problems.

This summer my long coat chihuahua, Luna, went a few days without her 
interceptor dose.  She came in contact with fleas and had an allergic 
reaction.She developed little sores that look like pimples on her 
underbelly, neck and leg shanks.  They also apperared on her spine.  
She was constantly scratching and licking herself.  I took her to our 
vet and was given an antibiotic, prednisone, and prescription dog 
shampoo.  It helped but I noticed hair loss under her neck and on the 
back along the entire length of her spine.  I had her tested for 
thyroid, the initial test and then the more expensive test.  Both 
turned out negative.  

I, also, changed food for a few months and as soon as I saw the problem 
I went back to her original food.

I am very concerned and feel I need to go to a dog dermatologists.  
Have any of you had these problems in the past?
