thank you I really appreciate the info: Here's where I'm at: I moved up the appointment to this Saturday. I'm going to take the food I have bought with me incase we change it. I do think it's the food (Hypoallergenic Royal Canin rabbit and potato) because the cortisone didn't seem to stop the itchiness-in fact, it didn't seem to work at all and she seemed to get itchier and itchier as the trial went on. I am going to tell Dr. Dan everything and also will probably need an antibiotic for the big red raw spot. I will ask him what he recommends. I think we have discussed allergy testing before-I will see what kind they do and have some info with me. I will also want to know what I should do when she has a flare-up, so I don't make myself crazy when there's nothing I can do for her on a weekend.
I am going to have to accept that I am doing everything I can and there may always be some itching-as long as she's comfortable the majority of the time, I think I can live with some itching. I will ask about a Doggie Dermo, but I'm willing to bet there is no such thing around me. |
