Out 9 yr old chihuahua has severe allergies. He has been on shots for 3 yrs and we are just winding down and stopping. The shots have helped so much that now we can manage it with benedryl.
He is allergic to many weeds, trees, chicken, certain grains... The testing and shots were a godsend. I too had shots for many years and it helped me a lot. Not that I don't still go through the pollen, etc, but not as severe and it is manageable with over the the counter.
Good luck, and it really will be so helpful to get the testing done. It's so hard for them when they are suffering so. |
