The usual treatment for EE is a diet change and prednisone. By change of
diet, I mean if he has been eating a chicken based kibble, change it to
some other meat, lamb, veal,even turkey may help. It will take a pretty
goog dose of pred initially to get it under control and slack off some
after a month or so. The liklyhood is that he will need the pred for
life.
I am not a vet.
