She is allergic to a few different weeds, molds and fungi, dust, dust mites, pine trees, melaleuca trees, cypress trees, cockroaches, and misquitos. (There may be something i forgot). The shots help her not to have major flare ups where she is scratching herself to bleed/scab, but she does get itchy and red still, especially when somthing is in bloom. I give her shots weekly, spray her paws as needed, bathe her in a special shampoo weekly (or everyother week), put itch relief lotion as needed, and give her the antihistamine 2x's a day (all items perscribed). I just wonder what Atopica is and why i never tried it?? i will google it...
