I sooooo feel for you. I've been living with something similar for 7 years now, but not my yorkie, my schnauzer. I have no new advice, sounds like you are doing everything you can think of...remember if it is food, it might up to 6 weeks for her system to adjust to the new diet changes (i.e. show improvement)....the other thing I wanted to check is your dosage of anti-histamine...I don't use Claritin but Benedryl, and Georgie is 14.5 lbs, she can have 12.5 mg (1/2 adult tablet)...my vet mentioned that the reason it seemed that over the counter allergy medicine wasn't working was because we weren't dosing the dogs correctly...when Georgie is bad (like right now), I give her a 1/2 tablet 3X per day. So if you think the Claritin isn't effective, check to see if she can have a larger dose, or more frequently...
Good luck, I know how painful and frustrating it is to watch your baby in distress! |
