We did not have the blood test done, as that does not test for everything and is not as accurate. She had a skin prick test like humans do. Ended up that she is allergic to the world! Our only option was allergy shots, which i giver her 1 time a week (although at first it is more often). To tell you the truth, it is the best thing i did. It was costly, but worth it. This time of year is bad for her so she is also on a perscription anthistimine as well (hydroxizine 2 times a day). If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

so happy you posted this as i contemplate constantly trying the shots so want to see posts like this where others have had some success as it is my one regret with dd
