well the first reaction came after eating chicken but i cannot remember exactly how long...
Now this weekend she seemed to be clearing up and I gave her chicken saturday and OMG she was HORRIBLE saturday night. NOTHING gave her relief NOTHING! she bit itched and dug at herself all night! Well no more chicken that for sure and i guess i will just give her her last 1/2 prednisone....and her antihistamine and see what happens.
Well I just spoke to tannar who is on serious doggie sitting duty and the good news is Bella has not itched all day he says. Im going to hold off giving her anymore meds until bedtime and see if she even itches at all. I hate giving meds AT ALL so hard to tell side effects from symptoms I get so flustered and desperate. This still doesnt explain her not wanting to walk in grass anymore but maybe her lil feet itch and she doesnt like the feeling of grass?? She is VERY weird about her feet. Im going to concentrate on building up her immune system and getting my happy lil girl back!
Being she does have a spot thats an open sore I may give her antibiotics and that may also help her immune system??? Think that would be ok?
