In addition to her treatment I've tried home cooking for a few years and changing household cleaning supplies as well. This is the worst she's ever been. Even at her best, her skin texture and fur does not seem to come back. When she was on the steroid it would help, but the symptoms were not this severe. She was eventually switched from Temaril-P to Atopica because of the long term side affects. She has had a few skin scrapes in the past and been put on various antibiotics, but is never 100 percent. She has been on the same regime for awhile so I'm not familiar with Apoguel. You have given me a lot of info that I will research this evening. Thank you again so much...I really hate seeing her suffer like this. |
Since her fur "doesn't come back", this would also make me be suspect of Cushings. I would *really* suggest you get the Cortisol Creatinine Ratio Urine Test to start down the path of Cushings testing...
