I would stay away, far away, from "injections" if those are just steroid shots - you don't want those long term.

this thread for more about allergies. In a nutshell, if they're year-round allergies, then you want to treat w/ either Apoquel or Atopica.
Also, I wouldn't necessarily be talked into allergy skin testing, followed by desensitization injections either...they often do not work and are about $400 just for testing.
No, I wouldn't shave her - it won't help anything at all. You could add some fish oil, but I don't know if that's okay w/ her tummy.
I would most def try the Pepcid asap as that's so simple/easy to try and is non-prescription.
Did she ever have giardia as a puppy or anything odd like that? Something intestinal...?
What is the main protein source and carb source in the current foods you're giving...?
