My wife and I are both very sorry for your loss. We also thank you for passing on your experience, though sad, and your warning.
Our Gracie has been on these shots for three years and, SO FAR, has not had any reaction to them. We watched her while the dosages slowly increased for any signs of trouble and stopped increasing the dose once her scratching and itching were greatly reduced. She takes the shots fine and, in fact, comes for them because afterwards, she gets a treat, of course.
The vet warned about the obviously very real possibility of the shock you describe. Needless to say, shot day every week is with a little trepidation.
HOWEVER, if there's another way to treat allergies without this possible scenario, we'd LOVE to hear it. |
