Yes, the prednisone was for itching. At the very least it worked with that. Bentley was tested for allergies last year and was sent out to Spectrum Labs. He has food allergies and they provided a list of foods for him. He also has environmental allergies for which the lab made a serum for him that I inject monthly. It has worked for him and also his food.
The prednisone made him not himself…anxiety, restlessness, panting, digging relentless in his bed…his whole behavior was not him and I do believe from what I have read, his hair loss last June from it. There was no other changes. Thankfully, today he is back to his normal self…a little picky at eating his meals but is eating.
I know for me he will not ever get prednisone again. Two episodes is enough…once in June and this last one. To see your boy not himself at all is very upsetting and it is the only thing that was changed for him. I am grateful to have all of your ideas on what could have been going on and for your being there for me and my Bentley.
