I am so glad to read you had a good appt w/ the derm. I understand that feeling of relief after you finally go, bc that's how I felt after finally going. Aren't Vet Derms just amazing??? SO smart and so great at encapsulating all that you need to know, in a very succinct but specialized way.
So he isn't even 12 mths? How old is he again? That's fairly unique. Makes me wonder if he had something during puppyhood that sapped his immune system...like giardia, kennel cough, mites, severe vax reaction...or...something? Anything that involved the GI system?
Please keep us posted on the cyto results, I'd be interested to hear.
Did you guys discuss Atopica?
