Shaq scratches like crazy and have started to loose hair from the scratching, he is so miserable, i don't know what to do. |
i have the same issue and dd has been on atopica for 3 months - she is a little better with the atopica but she takes temaril p as well - it takes 30-60 days for atopica to work. How much does yours weigh? DD is 6lbs and she is on 20 mg. You have to give it time. I am also supplementing with probiotics and raw coconut oil. I am also going to a home cooked diet. Please explain what you have gone through- have you done a food elimination diet? Have you gone to a dermatologist? Have you had a blood allergy test? Have you done allergy shots? I have been through a lot in 2.5 years with my allergy yorkie so maybe i can help you. Does yours itch all over, front half, back half?
