I have a 6 month old Yorkie named Gidget. She developed bumps from her neck down her back about 2 months ago. They turned to pus.
Took her to vet. Said it was allergies and infected. She got a shot & was on antibiotics for 6 weeks. Just stopped antibiotics & a round of steroids.
She was tested for allergies. It can be done now by a blood test. Checks for everything. She is allergic to chicken, eggs, flax seed, ragweed, & corn pollen. Has been on a special food now for two weeks.
I boarded her for 6 days. Her skin was almost well. I picked her up Friday night. When I got home she was worse than when I took her. Didn't see her till I got her out of carrier. They gave her a special bath.
I am sharing with you because of allergies & how unbelievable it could be to chicken and flax seed well used products in food and treats.
I really need help. She has seen 2 vets in different states, around $1500.
I have cried for her. I feel I h failed her. I'm calling vet now.
Any suggestions or real help would be greatly appreciated. Prayers for her.
I'm exhausted and at my wits end. She barely weights 4 lbs.
Thank you.
