I got Jazzie tested a few years ago. I took her to a veterinary dermatologist. The test was about $200.00 and all they did was take some blood. The doctor suspected pollens because her "itchy" days were seasonal.
The results helped us help her. Here is the top three things Jazzie is allergic to:
1. CATS!!! Seriously! I had no clue dogs can be allergic to cats!
2. Dust mites. We took out all carpeting and we now clean clean clean!
3. Pollens
We switched her shampoo to Earth Bath Oatmeal and her food to Natural Balance Potato & Duck
When the pollens are high, we give her over-the-counter antihistamines. But don't just run off and get them for your babies! Check with your doctor first!
She is mostly itch free now. |
