I will talk to my vet about how much to give her. I am only giving her .25 mgs of predisone twice a day for a couple of days and then 1x a day for a couple of days and then every other day. I prefer the pills over the injection because it is a lower dose.

I don't think the benedryl worked at all for Miracle, as I did not see much of a difference.

I bathed her and washed her paws real well last night in her hypoallergice shampoo making sure to dilute it first. I started her on Natural balance LID and she was hestiant at first but then goobled it up.

I really hope all of this works.

Thank you so much for your help!!!!
i prefer prednisolone over prednisone as it is easier on the liver so ask your vet about temarilp vs prednisone as temarilp had prednisolone and tavist which is an antihistamine
