I can't help too much on the allergy front, but have they corned the issue with the ears? Is it just allergies?
Winston had some ear issues since I first got him. Took him to a couple vets but didn't have a whole lot of success in treating it so it wouldn't come back or them taking it all that seriously. They just pushed it off as allergies and left it at that. He was still scratching like crazy at his ears and rubbing his head like no tomorrow.
I did some searching and found Zymox. I noticed a huge difference in his behavior the first night I used it, and by the next day he was hardly having ear issues at all (I was dosing twice a day.) We've been using it about the last 6 wks. I've tapered down to once every 2-3 days and I've yet to see any of his issues return and for that both of us are grateful. (We started off with the hydrocortisone formula, but I switched to the non-hydrocortisone formula since his issues have subsided.) I get mine off amazon, but there are a couple other places like 1800meds that sell it as well.
It certainly isn't going to solve all your allergy problems, but perhaps it might give your dog some relief in the meantime. |
