Has anyone had their yorkie on cortisone shots? My 2 1/2 yr old has allergies. The only thing it seems to affect are his eyes and he scratches like crazy. I have him on childrens benadryl twice daily (per the vet) but it doesn't seem to be helping. poor guy wears a cone 75% of the time to keep him from clawing his eyes. I have switched his food around and currently have him on TOTW. I took him to be microchipped 3 weeks ago and his eyes actually looks decent, but my vet thought they looked horrible and told me to consider the shots. Any opinions?
