She has been allergy tested and took shots for about 9 mos. She was allergic to 26 things--pollen, mold, etc.
The shots helped some--but we're back to Prednisone on a maintenance level. She gets secondary infections-and seems miserable a good part of the time. I give her baths often when her allergies are the worst, fish oil, Benedryl, soda rinses and all sorts of anti itch creams and sprays. Does anyone have something they do that relieves their pet's allergies and itching. Surely--someone~somewhere knows of something!! I'd so appreciate anyone sharing what they have tried. Using the steroids seems like a cruel thing to do--however, there doesn't seem to be a choice at this point.

hello and welcome to yorkie talk. i am sorry to hear that you and your pup are dealing with this. please start your own thread in the sick injured emergencies or yorkie health and diet part of this forum and you will get more views and responses. if this was my pup, i would want to consult with a vet dermatologist if you have not already done so. your general vet could refer you to one in your area or you could also find one by clicking on this link.

truly wishing you and your pup the best at getting to the bottom of this!
