It has been two weeks friday, since he has had his steroid shot and it has helped amazingly. We have not let him out in the grass since then. We are still waiting for the results of the allergy test. The cost was $200.00 but if it really allergies and he can get relief from shots it is worth it. The hair on his back legs is starting to grow back. The vet warned me that I was bathing him to much that once a week was too much so I have let him go over two and amazingly -- no scratching. His ears were a problem and she did a swab test on him and they were not infected - she feels allergy and so far no scratching of the ears- I feel like the steroid shot is the help but not a good long term solution- I will let everyone know as soon as I find out the results... I hope all the info I have shared has helped-- I have gained so much great info from everyone on hear that I am truly grateful...:):):) Quote:

Got results from allergy test Wanted to update everyone on Harley's allergy test- results were that he has no significant allergies to anything. I am relieved but now puzzled. I let him out in the grass yesterday evening and today he is itching for the first time since he went to the vet to get tested and was given the shot. Called the vet and she agrees with me that it is probably the grass or a weed that the test did not test for. So back to the spray, benadryl and steroid shot, bathing in oatmeal. So I hate to not let him outside because he loves it so much.. Only choice is to let him out and bathe him when he comes in or wipe him off with wipes. If anyone has any other suggestions please advise. thanks :):confused: |
It sounds like your doing everything right. I give my Krissy Benadryl and use a medicated shampoo but this has been a really bad year and she actually itched more than ever before, extra benadryl seems to have solved it for her. I hope you figure it out. |
I think allergies are so much worse now than they ever have been. We have to use Benadryl also for our wiemriemer. He gets it really bad and between his web feet. Our vet said it was the fact he gets out in the grass with the dew and then the moisture is in between his webbing. WE had to use some medicated pads to wipe his feet for awhile. I didn't realize so many dogs has allergies. |
Update on Harley-thyroid & Cushings disease Hello everyone, just wanted to update everyone on my Harley who is only 1 year and 11 months old. He went for a skin biopsy which came back inconclusive with the vet thinking it was either thyroid or cortisol problems. Well I found out Tuesday that he has low thyroid - borderline and the vet started him on meds and today the other test came back and he has mild cushing disease- he is to be started on a new med on tues. If anyone has any info on have a young dog with Cushing disease please let me know- I am so upset and concerned about his future... thanks Sonya |
