Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer, I hope your babies are doing better, but unfortunately unless you have found some miracle, I am sure they are still miserable. My baby is the same way constantly scratching licking paws, nasty looking red rash mostly on her back. I have tried everything, only thing to help is temaril P which is prednisone with antihistamine, it is a shame that prednisone is so damaging because it works so fantastic, she is so happy when she is on those pills then as soon as she is weaned off, the misery starts all over again. I am contemplating putting her on this new drug called atopica, I do not know if it is available in the UK, but from the posts I have been reading it is almost like a miracle drug, but I am still very leary, I want to make sure I really know everything I can about it before I give it to her, but so far it sounds like my last resort, and supposedly it has no ill affects long term. I really hope that this drug really is like a miracle because there are so many poor little babies out there suffering it makes me so mad!. Well I am going to do more research on it and I will let you know how everything goes, I hope you can get it, maybe from pet meds on the internet. Of course I don't expect you to take my advise as I am not sure myself yet what I am going to do, but you should investigate it. Good luck! Kathy Lexi's Mom
