What was done to rule out allergies and systemic yeast issues?
Did the vet offer to go ahead and give steroids to try and stop the itch cycle for a bit? |
They drew blood, did cultures, tested skin samples, had him on steroid pills (after doing an injection first) - no change. We have two vets - a woman and a man - both unaffiliated - both ran shot-gun work-ups (for the first 8 weeks we had him we had a visit with each per week - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$) - they don't know what else to do as we've seemed to rule everything out in terms of allergies...
