Next Tuesday we find out if there are any food allergies. If so, we'll perhaps find a diet that works.
I would have to wean her off the prednisone and then we could try Atopica again. We are holding that out as our last try, the vet and I. Latte used Atopica years ago when it first came out. She was about 5 and there was no difference in her itching, if I remember right. But, when we changed her her vet and diet, she only needed prednisone occasionally. Now, she's 10, and she's miserable when not on cortisone.

I am all about the quality of her life. She has slowed down and been on three food trials. I'm hoping that the allergy testing will at least eliminate the guessing game on that front.
