After lots of reading I feel sure that the breeder sold him too young and that has contributed in a big way to his problem, but at this point you can't undo that, only go forward. What is atopica? Thank you for your feedback. |

Oh good...that flax can be so irritating...my Wylie gets itchy from flax too. And good on the bordatella - so glad they never gave that. I would never give that to an immune compromised dog (I don't give it, period, but some people have reasons to give it like the dog park etc).
Link on Atopica (also has customer reviews)
Novartis - manuf.
My Marcel has pollen issues and was waking up at 1 and 2am to chew/lick his paws. Atopica has stopped that. He still has a few breakthrough symptoms when pollens are super high, but his quality of life when WAY up after Atopica...pollens are so bad in AZ.
