Thankfully, Tibbe doesn't need long term allergy treatment as his are seasonal, intermittent. He only had paw itching once, during his allergic reaction that quickly turned into a bacterial skin infection, a reaction to his MVD prescription food, so it has otherwise worked well for him anytime we’ve used it for his eye, nasal watery drainage. But that actual skin infection took antibiotic injection and I think a steroid, was awful. He suddenly stank, itched all over, suddenly scratching all night, so come morning, off to the vet. Came home already feeling much better, was back to normal couple days later, that fierce itching done. Thank God for vets!
