we have to keep switching...he's good for a while, then his allergies blow up again

On average, a dog can take up to 3 months to react to a new ingredient or protein, or longer...
But... hairloss is common, if infection starts, then the follicle may drop the hair after a bit and take a while longer to regrow.
Oscar has a patch on his tail right now that has been bare for probably 3 months at least, in part because he's had a localized skin infection that came back in that area a few times
Between the allergies and the Pred., Oscar is missing a lot of his undercoat, which I doubt will ever come back, since it has been missing for a loooong time.

ACK...I wonder if the hair on Pigeon's sides will EVER grow back then.
She's pretty much BARE where she's stood and scratched with her hind paw, on both sides. Plus she has a bare spot on her tail as well.

Growing Hair on a Doorknob
"This recipe is in The Quincy Kennel Club's cookbook and was submitted by Virginia Knocke!"
1 lb. Peanut Butter
1 lb. honey
1 lb. diaglo (powder) or Mirra coat
1 pt. Lavitamin also known as Lixotinic (Can be found at http://www.kvvet.com/)
Have peanut butter at room temperature. Mix all ingredients together This will be very thick and sticky. Stores indefinitely in refrigerator. Make into balls according to size of the dog.
Small dogs should get 1-3 teaspoons daily,
Large dogs should get 1-2 tablespoons daily.
Guaranteed to grow hair-- even on doorknobs. If you can get the doorknobs to eat and digest this--it will grow hair!
