Chloe has the worse skin problems. She is ALWAYS itching. She had a staph infection a few months ago from scratching sores on herself. She has bald spots, and her skin is all red. We have tried almost everything. Benadryl twice a day, baths in shampoo thats suppose to reduce itching (the vet sold us), getting her long pretty hair chopped off so that she wont be so hot, allergy shots (but Im afraid this will cause long term liver damage, so I try not to do it much), and we just switched her food this week to duck and potato for allergies. Nothing seems to help. The only thing we really haven't tried is getting her tested for allergies. And we can't afford that because the vet said it would be $150.00 for the tests, then $300.00 the first month for the medicine and about $150.00 each month after that. And we just can't afford it. We have 4 animals. We have over $1,000.00 on our carecredit card to pay off that we used on them, a baby on the way, and in the process of moving. So, if anyone else had any suggestions of things that we can do.. then please let me know. I hate that she has to be so miserable all of the time.
