allergies When Latte was younger she threw up a lot and the vet told me to get her on a better food. SHe's had allergies all along. I think they're pollen related. It's especially bad when the wind blows-like today. Last year she was scratching and biting a lot and it was driving us crazy, so I went to another vet. She also agreed it was allergies, so she gave her a shot of a cortisone and some pills to follow up with I had already used Prednisone and Atopica to no avail. She also told me to put her on a diet of fish and sweet potatoes. All of those things have really helped. If I deviate from that, like recently when she was boarded and we went out of town and I gave her bits of steak on her food to get her to eat, I've been sorry. She's really biting and licking her feet and scratching. I've given her a little more of her pills today. (I have her down to the tiniest bit-way less than the vet prescribed.) I have never paid to have the allergy testing and I've always heard they don't tell you much anyway. (I was tested for allergies myself and they said I wasn't allergic to anything-but I still have asthma and sinus headaches, so there you go.) |
