Well both vets ran tests. We have been to two different vets trying to figure out whats wrong. One took a core out of him and did testing on it. And then they sold us this dog food that was supposed to be all awesome that was expensive. Then they gave us "special" medicated shampoos and a spray for itching. It's just been a hassle and we still really don't have an answer. Plus all the medications he has been on. This has all been going on since November. So it wasn't just 1000 at once, all over time trying to get an answer.
That's why I recommended a nutritional consult, because the vets can be a seemingly endless, and expensive, merry-go-round, without ever finding the cause. They just keep treating the symptoms. If it is yeast, Nzymes sells a yeast kit. It probably beats throwing money at the vet though. You might want to follow the Great Dane Ladys advice. I'll include the link. I don't have any experience with Nzymes, myself. I do give probiotics after giving antibiotics though, to keep the yeast in check.
