what you feeding her on?  so what did the skin scrapings throw up or is vet just saying it is allergy because he doesnt know because he hasnt done any more tests?

If it is an allergy you need to find out what she is allergic to so you can eliminate it from diet or environment.  If you have any photos of lumps pads etc and photos of face so we can see ears and eyes that would be good.

pollen? allergy? ummmm what sort and what tests and and and…to be honest? that rubbish,…if you had a pollen test of the similar type test that dogs are exposed to? you would also show allergic….

Westies are notorious for bad skins especially the feet most are yeast infections which can be helped with diet your westie is on a poor diet for any dog and a bad one for the breed there should be no red meat in the diet as this aggravates the condition
