Rusty's Mom

Our DDB Rusty is approx 3-4 yrs old. We rescued him in August 2011. He had blood work to determine his allergies. He starts out with bumps which turn into scabs then scabs fall off and his hair comes out with it. According to the blood results he is allergic to 150 things outside (grasses, trees, weeds etc.) He is currently on an antibiotic, antihistimine and Atopica. We did try allergy shots last year but they didn't seem to be working. He is on a grain free turkey and sweet potato dog food. He is also bathed once a week with a medicated shampoo. He gets no tablefood except thin sliced, low salt, low fat turkey which I wrap his pills in. We also found that he has a problem digesting fat,dairy and fish. He is doing much better since starting the Atopica 2 months ago but I was wondering if any other dogs have this problem.
