Poor Mandy...

[chocolatepuppy]

Mandy is doing well with the medication she is on.(Temaril-P) The last few days she hasn't scratched or chewed on herself at all. At first she was on 3 pills twice a day (due to her size) but was drinking and peeing way too much (a side effect) We have her on 2 pills twice a day until next Monday. Then we go to 1 pill twice a day for a week. Hopefully she'll be all better then or we'll need to find the cause of her itching.
Also, she is experiencing a false pregnancy again. The poor thing, it's one thing after another.
Thanks again for all thoughts and prayers, I'm praying so hard to God and St. Francis that this is seasonal allergies and she will be better. She seems so much better now, playing with her stuffies and romping around, she just has to be better!

Awww. Feel better Mandy

*update* Well, Mandy was doing so well on her meds, then she was done with them Monday night. Things were going good and when I came home at lunch to check on her today she was a mess! Her eyes were all puffy and she had rubbed them almost to bleeding around them. So back to the vets after work and back on some meds. Antihistamines to start, if they don't work I also have more Temoral-P she can get started on right away. The vet realizes this is a holiday weekend and we're not taking any chances.
I put some neosporin around her eyes at lunchtime and went back to work in tears. Lord I hope she's better again soon. The vet says she may have to stay on something permanantly. I don't care, I just want my baby to feel okay!
Please keep her in your prayers!

Just kind of guessing here but do you think it might be something in her surroundings or food that's causing the problem? Maybe instead of suppressing the symptoms maybe it's something in your dog's surroundings like a carpet cleaner.That would come into contact with her fur, and she'd sit on it and it would irritate her bottom and the residue would irritate her eyes. Or maybe it's something else- some cleaner or spray or something in her food. Do you give her treats? Some of those things, don't know what's in them , but those commercial treats have made more than one dog allergic to them. Maybe get away from commercial pet food completely and don't use any sprays or cleaners, some carry through the air and get inhaled and can cause problems and allergic reactions.And some dogs are allergic to the grains that are in the pet food or the corn.

solares... Mandy has had allergies since she was a puppy. On and off. The vet feels certain it is inhaled allergies. Having researced it, I agree. I am very careful with cleaners as I have two dogs and two cats. It usually starts in the fall, possibly seasonal, and is now lingering probably due to house dust and the furnace blowing it around. Thanks for your suggestions.

Good luck with the sweetie.

With all of the issues you're dealing with I'd suggest spending $100-$200 for allergy tests to find out exactly what is causing it.

Hope she gets better & stays better!
