The meds helped tremendously!! Only draw back was that (at the time) steriods shortened the lifespan of animals. That was about 20 years ago, so I don't know if they've been improved or not. I sure hope so. Might want to ask your vet. Just a thought.

Benadryl is a safer first choice alternative for allergic reactions.
