Gosh I wish you had a Derm near you. My derm says that skin issues can only be allergies or secondary to disease/illness. If there is disease, it's really tough to say what it is if her only symptom is the itching. I can imagine how frustrated you are  . Ya know, Dwerten is soooo good w/ allergy issues as well, I hope she sees your post. |
lol i have been helping her out
the atopica takes at least 60 days to really get in system. Also she has had the hypothyroid tests and apparently not thyroid as many times hypothyroid and skin issues go hand in hand as well as liver disease as dd has mvd and hypothyroid and severe atopic dermatitis
Allergies are the worst it is such a life long narrowing down process and just when you think you have it under control something else happens - it is heart breaking to see a dog itch alot
my heart breaks for anyone having to deal with it as i have been dealing with it for 5 years and analyze it to death and still get stumped
the best thing is to try to manage it as best you can
des are you using temarilp along with atopica? you may have to do 1/2 tab every other day along with the atopica and wean back after the summer months ;( it stinks and i hate drugs but unfortunately sometimes they are the only thing to get immediate relief for the dog - i hate having to do it but atopica did not work for dd as she was throwing it up after a year so now i do minimal steroids 1/2 tab temarilp every other day and do blood work every 6 mos. Her blood work has been normal but she just could not tolerate atopica and did not want to put an antivomitting drug in her another drug to stop a drug making her vomit i said enough is enough she gets the temaril at least it is only one drug and she was on temarilp while on atopica as well
she is really bad sadly
