Well Paula you know my take on this but Ill post anway.....
With Otis having allergies and possible liver issue I would look into more natural ways like Dawn soap for a while. Id say this is a narrowing down process and I had to go REALLY slow with everything with Diggy as you know. Shots one at a time and some not at all....Now Bella acts really strange afetr Frontline like you said like her skin is crawling....and she even shook and got really cold one time right afetr I put only half a dose on her. I have tried Advantix when we went to Florida vet said that its the best for mosquitos which are BAD in Fla. where we were vacationing. She did great. So with Diggy and him being under liver suspicion I was told Revolution is best for dogs with liver issues. So I did revolution, He did great. So him I am keeping on Revolution even though Bile Acid test was negative for issues. Bella...well I still do frontline and interceptor....when allthe interceptor is gone I am looking into revolution. I use frontline every 6 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. Have for 2 years and only use half a tube and quarter the other half for the 2 ferrets. what are u using for heart worm? see with diggy I do not give any 2 shots at the same time vet does them all a week apart easier to tell what he is reacting to if he reacts. I try and space everything apart just encase he reacts, its not such a guessing game. But with Otis being on Lactose and Allergy meds and needing both daily its hard to just stop everyhitng and go at it one at a time...and now seeing a flea you have to add something else in the mix. I would seriously look into the Dawn and eliminate the fleas as cause of him going after tail. If he stops going after tail after Dawn bath theres your answer! I hopethis works for ou and we get this narrowed down. When was his last Bile Acid test?? Im thinking its only been a few months. My vet said if Diggy was still symptomatic for Liver Issue to re-test in 6 weeks. But I'm thinking your vet said 6 months? Maybe you could look into Bile Acid to get some peace of mind that way??? I know this stinks....And anyway I can help I will.
