Deb, Lady does have allergies, too. I swear by fatty acids and colostrum to boost her immune system.
I have read that dogs with severe staph allergies sometimes benefit from immunotherapy/injections. Has your dermatologist ever mentioned it to you? Staph Dermatitis and Hypersensitivity ~ Pawprints and Purrs, Inc. |
do you mean the hyposensitization shots? yeah i have been nervous about them as i have heard it makes some dogs worse so i am afraid but she has had staph lysate injections when this all started 5 1/2 years ago with a holistic vet but derm does not do those i do not believe cannot remember why
our vet mentioned convenia shot again and had to remind him a second time she got hives from simplicef and he went OOOPS sorry forgot about it - they kill me never read the charts
convenia and simplicef are in the same antibiotic family
do you use the coconut oil as a fatty acid - i had good success with it with dd so going to start her after appt tomorrow i think. i have to order another jar as the organic we get is only good for 6 mos and very expensive so have to call and order another jar
I always worry about fatty acids after the pancreatitis we went through with dex and dd always has high lipase on blood work which is a sign of fat digesting enzyme high and being on steroids i get nervous as i do not want to battle pancreatitis and steroids with her
