So now i put her on cod for pilling and within one week the itching is much less i can keep cone off her as she is not rubbing her eyes etc. Now when she was pilled with white potato we did not have these issues as she has never rubbed her face to the point where she rubbed her eyes raw ever never has she had to wear a cone so seeing this first hand convinced me what i read in this book a few years ago. She has been on temarilp for 2 years now. It was getting so bad I called to increase her temarilp yet nothing was stopping this itching while on the allergent foods.
also if this dog is on a chicken diet and on steroids why are the steroids not working? |
Steroids may not be working in this case because 1) they just aren't going to work for food allergies in this case, or 2) this dog doesn't have a food allergy at all. Maybe it's a fungal infection or mites or, or, or...
And I have an example from my own dog that proves that they can work for food allergies. Not all ddrugs affect all dogs the same. The same goes for food. I know yours do really well on HA. It was a huge waste of time for mine... as was Z/D Ultra...
