I hope you find a solution as easily as we did. Best wishes to you all.

I'm glad you were able to go this route! My vet suggested the food trial process, but with my husband and mentally challenged daughter (although she listens better sometimes!!), I found it impossible to do the elimination diet successfully. That's why we had to bite the bullet and do the blood test.
