If a steroid works, even temporarily, I say use it for her. I know it's not ideal but if it's the only thing that will give her some relief then go for it!
That's what I did for Megan. I tried Claratin and Zyrtec but neither of them worked for her. I had the prednisone here in case I needed it so I started her on it and she has stopped scratching altogether. While she is on the prednisone I will change her diet to raw. I have heard wonderful things about raw and how it helps with allergies so we're going to try it.
I have not tried Atopica but, if the prednisone and raw don't give her full relief I will see her vet about it.
Good luck with Latte |
