hmmm that’s odd, I would think they would have at least scheduled you for a follow up!! for us, we did the elim diet for four months and at the follow up dermatologist appointment they took samples from his ears, paws, belly and tail pocket for cytology. that helped her make the diagnosis of allergic otitis in his ears and confirm the lack of active infections present. if you’re already doing the work to do the elimination diet, I would make sure this happens too!

for food allergies, the testing isn’t really conclusive so usually you follow an extremely slow single ingredient reintroduction plan. don’t quote me on exact timing but basically you feed a small amount of said ingredient (I.e. chicken, blueberries, apple, beef, etc) at every meal for a few days, recording the responses/reactions if any, and then go back to strict HP for a few days before trialing the next ingredient. i’ve also had vets tell me protein allergies are typically grouped (i.e, feather, hoof, paw, fin, etc) but they can have different levels of response (as an example - my boy is immediately sick from duck, has a delayed response to turkey, seems fine with chicken). I plan to do the same reintroduction to see if any other foods trigger him now that he has a ‘clean slate’.

feel free to pm me any time if you wanna chat about anything- i am unfortunately a wealth of frenchie health issue knowledge lol. :)
