! Love it. Sounds like he thinks Mama should go shopping w/ Daddy's credit card
. Smart pup!
I agree...it doesn't really sound like he could have Cushings (altho, my Wylie had flat tummy and was totally active before his Cushings diagnosis too). Eh, just file it in the back of your mind or something.
I know you feel funny about steroid injections, but sometimes they really do have great benefit (esp. if short term). Steroid injections *tend* to have better efficacy for allergy relief in enviro (pollen, dust, etc), as compared to a food allergy (keep in mind food allergies really only account for 10-15% of canine allergies, the rest being enviro. Anyway, one thing a vet may try is giving a steroid shot, to be able to observe whether or not there is a response to it....bc knowing the response may be helpful.
Also, if you'd rather give a 24-hr (once a day) anti-histamine, there is Zyrtec or Claritin.
Thanks for the update. I know how frustrating allergies / skin issues can be
