Default Sudden allergy/eczema?

We have two wonderful dogs. Our lurcher has always had an allergy to flea
bites, hence we have always tried our best to keep fleas at bay and to treat
any bites via the vet. ie anti-histamines as required etc.
However, our Rotty has suddenly started to nibble/itch and I am starting to
worry. The 'nibbling' is all over, not like the flea allergy and dispite
being treated by the vet and it helping for about 14 days, it's back. It's
not as bad as before. The vet mentioned eczema, but at 5 years old this
didn't seem to make sense to me. What is going on?
We have not changed anything, from the dog food to the furnature polish! I
am worried that this could become a long term problem (because we can't find
the trigger) and rergetably we can't afford to carry on taking the dogs to
the vet's every fortnight (£20 per consultation, per dog, plus any
drugs....)
We love our dogs dearly and I for one can't bear the thought of them being
parted with because we can't afford treatment. They are part of our family!
To be honest I could never imagine either ever settling with another family
even if they had all the money and time in the world!
Has anyone any ideas?
