Cali is not feeling well Cali started on her new allergy medicine. Atopica, 5 days ago and yesterday she seemed lethargic and walking really slow. Today she is hunched over and shaking and has a frightened look on her face. I called her vet and she said to stop the medicine and come pick up some medicine that has a little pain relief and a steroid in it and if she isn't better tomorrow to call her. I feel so bad for her we cannot get a handle on her scratching and I had hoped this medicine would work. Her vet said we may need to start her on it slower, but I am not sure I want to tey it again. Please say a prayer that Cali feels better soon. Thanks |
Patti, I am so sorry to hear Cali isn't feeling well. Will be sending healing thoughts and prayers that the new meds help her feel better! Hugs for mommy too |
I'm sorry to hear Cali's not feeling well. I hope she's feeling better, and that you guys can find a medicine for her. Sending prayers! |
Hmm, I don't think I would try it slower. I wouldn't try that one again at all. It could have been a reaction that is common or it could have been the MVD. Those symptoms are a sign that the liver was having a problem and steroids would not help that issue at all. It is hard to say though. Have you tried the medicine that is used for human liver patients when they get itchy? |

I read about it on the yahoo group. It isn't an allergy med. It is supposed to help the itching that is caused by the liver. I think they started using it on dogs now. You could do a search over there or ask Olga.:) It may not help her since she might not be itching from her liver but it's worth a try if you've done everything else... |
Poor Cali, hope shes better soon. |
Hope Cali feels better :) Are you home cooking for her ? I would like to share that Royce was itching and his skin was really red, I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended the Aveeno anti itch lotion I bought it and applied it on Royce then put a tshirt on him and that helped a lot . |
Poor Cali, hope those ichies stop soon ! |

i pray that we both get a handle on these allergies so our babies can feel better. |
Sending hugs to Cali from me and Lucy. Feel better soon! |
Alot of times dogs with MVD do have itchy problems. It could very well be associated to that...A search on the yahoo group would be a good idea. I'll try to find out for you as well... Just curious, do you give her any vitamin E and/or fish oil?? |
Prayers to you and Cali! I hope the new med helps her get back to normal. :) Poor baby! |

Thanks. She is feeling a bit better, not walking hunched over, but not active and her eyes look so sad. I am going to restart the fish oil, all of them got loose poop from it even though I just put a drop in their food. She is still scratching some but now I have to start weening her off the steroid and I don't know how she will be. I feel so bad for her and the other 2 kept picking on her so I have her next to me all the time. |
