Hi sure hope you can get Layla some relief soon...poor baby!
My Sailor struggles with allergies - she scratches some much and is losing hair. We started with shots every 2 months with our old vet....and by about 6 weeks she was miserable again.
So with our new vet he started over - first with a shot - that lasted about 4 weeks - so the vet gave her another shot at a month but also put her on Medrol pills. These pills do help more than the shots, but she is sleepy and tired when she takes them. The new vet said the next step is allergy testing he would do at his office. We are trying to give the pills a little more time, but this week has been very bad again. (The last time we took her in she had one spot that was very inflammed and the vet was worried about that spot getting worse.) Our new vet also says these are seasonal allergies and with all the different weather we have had this year - alot of dogs without a history of problems are having issues this year. (We are in Tx and have had alot of rain!)
Let us know if you find something that works well for Layla!! |
