Hope she is feeling better with her meds.

Thanks I will

She's really sleepy now, I feel so bad for her. Here's a picture of my sleepy baby

Ah...what a doll baby, feel better real soon. Did they do a culture to see. what kind of infection it is? If not it might be a good idea, that will tell the vet what kind of antibiotic will work against it...some germs are more resistant then others. Don't know to much about allergies, but the shot probably had an antihistamine in it, that's how it works...it makes you sleepy. Good luck, and get well wishes, from Winston & I.

I'm sorry to hear your baby is sick, but like you said, it could've been worse. I'm glad you got some medicine, and I hope she feels better real soon!

Awww your baby is so cute LullaBelle and I wish her a speedy recovery from her ailments.

aww she is precious, feel better soon little one

Well, the shot the vet gave her helped the itching stopped, she didn't scratch yesterday or all night.

Belindtch · 05-20-2007, 04:27 AM

My Alyssa is 3 years old. We spent the first 2 and 1/2 years of her life scratching, itching, and visiting the vet. The only thing that helped were steroid shots. She has been on Royal Canin and Ultra Small Bites and you name it and she has eaten it. After the recall I changed to Canidae. I thought I would have to order it on line but found all kinds of places within driving distanace that sell it. My girls both loved it from the start. I compared the ingredients and just about came up with the conclusion that Alyssa is allergic to the corn. Since using Canidae (I began with it on April l3) Alyssa has so much more energy. She used to just lie around or sit around ...and now is up and always running around. Her fur has improved to a very healthy shine and my two girls fight over the food. They have never done this before. I switched to it cold turkey. I did not even mix it with their Royal Canin. I just started giving it to them. One more thing: Royal Canin here is almost $l5 a 5 pound bad. Canidae is less than $l0. That really surprised me. Royal Canin was coming from Petco and my Canidae is being purchased at a doggy boutique locally. I don't understand the difference in price. Oh well...

Thanks, lots of people have been suggesting Canidae, and there is a shop that sells it 2 miles away, so I'm going to go pick some up tomorrow. Maybe it'll help her with her allergies.
