Hi Korina,
I’m assuming that your vet did a skin scrape to rule out demodex mange. I foster dogs and if she is a rescue, this could be a real possibility. Fortunately, my vet works with a lot of rescues and does this before we go on to other possibilities. Demodex mange is very common in puppies and young dogs, particularly if she was a rescue. The stress of shelters can bring on demodex mange. I don’t quite understand your post, but if she got worse on the steroids, demodex is a very real possibility. I’ve been through that scenario.
If she is was clear on this count, I would choose a grain free food with another protein source. It doesn’t really matter if a food is rated 4.5 stars. If it doesn’t work for your dog, it doesn’t work. Please keep us posted!
