And then from the directions we had to do every other day for 5 days towards the end and he became more itchy.
I asked for more steroids and then vet said "let's try the food first."
I wonder if the shots would work, but getting shots weekly is kind of a lot. Not that I won't do what I can to figure this out, but this is adding up quick! We do use children's benadryl at night too and might start doing it during the day.

Thanks for ur advice!

My vet says that Benadryl just gives a short relief. It doesn't last very long. The shots last 30 days. It has been a while since she had one. But I can look on the bills and see if I can come up with a name.
