He is on immunotherapy(shots now every two weeks), and he hides behind my daughter when he sees the syringe. She is the only one that hasn't given him a shot. He also has canine compulsive disorder, licks like a cat and coughs up ginormous hairballs. Attachment 2627 |
My pup is super allergic to everything too. That was what I rushed him to the vet for (before I found my horse on three legs afterwards and got the vet to rush out there too). He developed HUGE hot spots in 24 hours that weren't going to heal on their own. They're suggesting immunotherapy for my boy too...and I'm wonder if it's worth the cost. My boy is helped a very little bit by the antihistamine loratadine and also 2x weekly baths with Malaseb. Oh and the pup is over 155lbs...so medication...shampoo...we get through a lot and it's all very expensive
