Good luck at the vet today .. will look for an update later. |
Yeah, I discussed many options with my vet and she agreed that we should avoid steroids of any kind, if it all possible. Thankfully, the Zyrtec really seems to help. Of course, we would not let him be uncomfortable, and we have to do something w/steroids, we will.
The allergy clinic is quite optimistic (based on his allergy test results) that he will have significant improvement as a result of the allergy shots. They told me that it's just a matter of managing his symptoms now and keeping him comfortable for the next 4-6 months while we wait for the shots to work. Another good thing is that his allergies are seasonal and don't occur during the winter months (so I've been told).
