Hi, I'm Villette's friend. I have the six year old yorkie, Gracie. She was on the steroid shots and the Prednisone pills and other types of steroid meds for years. These only help for a short time. After a while, they started causing bad side effects. The worse one was her losing control of her bladder. So, our regular vet sent us to an allergy specialist in Houston.
Gracie is off the steroids, her skin looks really good, and all she gets is an allergy shot once a week. It takes about four months of shots before you start seeing the results but can take as long as a year. I am so glad we went to the specialist. And Gracie is not itchy anymore. I highly recommend an allergy specialist.
If anyone has any further questions, please feel free to ask me, as I wish I had someone to ask when we were going through all this. I will be glad to answer any questions I can.
