This same thing happened to my 10 year old dog. She had allergies. She had to have a shot every month, it worked at first but eventually it was just her time. Take him to the vet and ask for him to be tested for allergies.

If you have vet question please take it to your REAL VET. You have no clue who is telling you what here. Everyone talks about back yard breeders why isn't anyone getting on these back yard vets. They tell you what to do then their source is I am a vet.. How in the heck do you know who they are.
