Maybe you can look into the plant sterols and start them next year a couple months before spring starts blooming. I know a few on here started with them a month of so ago.. |

It doesn't seem to me that natural remedies for environmental allergies work that great and if it is that serious, I would also recommend talking with your vet about Atopica. It is definitely a quality of life issue now. |
Marcel has environmental allergies - he doesn't really itch, but his eyes get gunky and he is at his paws - even at 1am/3am in the morning. When it intereferes this much, I agree w/ Crystal in that it is now a QOL issue. I took both boys to a Vet Derm. last weekend - and I started Marcel on Atopica today. [btw, benadryl didn't touch him]
