| good news yeah she told me dd would have to have it again so the $800 i spent on the others are out the window - i love spending money for inaccurate things - both of those tests were done at vets offices two separate vets. one was done when dd was 8 mos and the other was done when dd was almost 2 so she is almost 6 guess it is a good time to retest but i will only do it if i am going to do hyposensitization as otherwise it is a waste of money |

I thought it was only a waste if you did food? Most say it's good for environmental, I would at least like to know what Miracle is allergic to, perhaps I could control it better as I do my own allergies. I hate the NOT knowing.

WOW! So I can give Miracle honey? I was just looking into local bee keepers for me. How does the honey thing work? I'm still leaning towards getting it done as I did do the food and the only thing that came up is Potato but this all started when I changed her food and weaned her from her puppies. As I only rehomed Miracle at the end of June a week before she had her babies, according to the previous owners she never itched but I'm really not sure this is true, I almost think they knew and that is why they kept her pregnant all the time because she would stop itching. PS, I did buy the book you recommend about holistic ways to help our babies, and their allergies.

the local raw honey works like hyposensitization shots and many have had great success with it in our area but i am chicken to try it for fear of dd getting worse. I asked derm about it and she poo pooed it but on allerdog a few dog owners did it for themselves and their dogs and it worked. A pet store here told me about it and they carry local raw honey i bought it and chickened out lollll What he said to do is go to farmers market or he carried it at christmas time and get local raw honey and each morning put a tiny bit on finger let them lick it off and slowly increase over time and he said that will desensitize the dog to what is in your specific area as doing hypo shots they are guessing what is in your area but the bees get the pollens from your area as we have a local bee place so ours is local - as humans you can put the honey in your tea and drink it - honey is safe for our dogs as vets say to use it at least mine did for hypoglycemia and i had to use it when dex was a pup when i first got him as he went hypoglycemic on me and it worked. I rubbed it on his gums. Worth a shot as makes sense if they are shooting the hyposensitization into skin it is going into the body and if licking pollens to desensitize that is going into the body so would think it would do the same thing. I saw it on a news show they showed it as people are doing this for people with allergies then i heard about it from pet store in my area so i asked derm immediately. but see your allergies are happening in the snow so that is more mold, etc where as ours is more pollen based so may not work in your situation if your dog is itching in the winter where there is snow outside Last edited by dwerten; 03-14-2010 at 06:28 AM. | |
