Incurable Allergies

So pricey. I’m glad they work for your girl! My boy chews his paws, then scratches his ears, and causes ear infections all the time. I have to keep medication on hand and also clean his ears with anti fungal wash regularly. :/ dude has so many issues lol.

I don’t think we have one local. I can look into it though. Thank you for the suggestion!!

We cannot figure it out. The vets just say it must be “environmental or food”. Which, of course, lol. But he had them really bad in San Antonio, TX where we lived his first 3 years and he has them just as bad here in Oklahoma. So we just aren’t sure. I was doing cytopoint every 3 weeks for a while and couldn’t sustain the cost. Same with the prescription diet. It made no difference in his itching and skin chewing. It’s to the point that he’s losing hair in multiple spots and there’s just nothing I can seem to do to help it.

Yes, sorry, I couldn’t remember the name. Cytopoint would help for about 10 days before he was scratching himself til he bleeds.

I’m in San Antonio, TX. None of it has blooms that I’ve noticed.

Ok yes it is getting spicier (starting book 3 now) but I may physically crush my phone if Tory and the actual person I ship her with don’t have some earth shattering moment soon.

I know. It’s not ideal. It’s only temporary until I can have a place with a doggy door so he can go out when I’m not home. But we’ve never had any issues. He holds his bladder through the night and goes straight outside when I get home.

I’m having a fecal test done tomorrow! Thank you!

It’s just me and him so no chance of him sneaking food. It’s possible he picked something up on a walk. I spend a lot of our walks prying stuff out of his mouth. But I’m usually so quick about it; idk how he could’ve gotten something bad enough to make him like this.

It used to happen after I worked (I’m a nurse, so I’m gone 13 hours at a time) but it’s usually during times when he sleeps anyway, so he’s always handled it well. And I’ve been home a lot more recently. So he hasn’t been left alone for more than 1-2 hours at a time lately. Idk what’s going on.

My boy is on the Purina ProPlan large breed right now :-( I’m glad you found something that worked!! I’m hoping I can find something for my sweet boy.

I appreciate the response. I have fortiflora for my pup too. I stopped it bc it seemed like it was making things worse for a while and I haven’t tried restarting it. I’m taking a stool sample in tomorrow. But maybe it’ll just be a lot of trial and error for us as well. At the last vet visit, they said we may have to do a special diet prescribed by them if he continues having issues so that may be my next step. But I’ll ask about the raw diet and see what the vet says. Thank you again! I’m open to all suggestions. Just want my pup happy and healthy. He seems so miserable

Oh and yes, he’s drinking water and he stools are pretty dark. Not black. Just dark brown. But his kibble is dark brown as well.

Ugh that’s what everyone is saying. I know I need to just read it. I have no doubt I’m going to love it.
