I have a little boy that is two years old (I say little but he’s 8lbs). He never had a problem with allergies until now. We’ve had a lot of rain in Southern California this year and apparently it’s doing a number on people and dogs alike. He’s on Cytopoint now but he is also on antibiotics for infection from scratching. It has been 2 months and we still haven’t got his allergies under control. 🥵 The vet says that we will keep trying but next year we need to address it before it gets out of control. So I would say that climate is definitely a factor.
Unrelated, but in our area there is apparently a huge Parvo outbreak. The vet says they are getting up to 5 puppies a day that have been partially vaccinated (2-3 shots) but coming down with Parvo. They are recommending 4 shots before pups are in public areas. It is worrying because so many people are lax in getting vaccines in a timely manner. |
