Cali also has a mild MVD (liver shunt). I know how frustrated you are. I just want Cali to stop scratching all the time. |
yeah i am right there with u 2 1/2 years of this - ugh
we did the elimination diet so you should try that and STOP the milk bones as something in there could be causing it - what ingredients are in that ?
we did an elimination diet of pinto beans, safflower oil, and potato with a centrum vitamin but i didn't do the vitamin - she seemed much better but itched a little although she hated pinto beans
we ended up having to put in almond butter from whole foods to get her to eat it but i did notice she was a bit better during that time.
then we put her back on the dd salmon and potato as dexter got sick as he ate some of her pinto beans and thought that made him get ibd attack so put her back on food he was on and she has seemed itchier
I could not keep her on the pinto beans forever though as not enough nutrition
soooo frustrating but i keep searching for the answer
she is on atopica now for 2 1/2 months so because she is still itching i am thinking it might be food more so now so will discuss with dermatologist
