Thread: Poor Mandy...

    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!

    lv4dogs, yea I know, I have already spent a fortune on Mandy. It has always seemed pointless to find out why when we can just treat it when it occurs. If we found out what is causing it,seasonal, house mites, dust, animal dander that would serve no purpose as it is nothing I could change. Thanks for the good wishes.

    Ah, sorry to hear that Mandy isn't feeling well again. I will be sending up lots of prayers, that she will feel better this weekend, and be able to enjoy her holiday.

    ***update*** Mandy is doing well on her new antihistamine. Just wanted to let everyone watching and replying know how she's doing. Thanks for all of the prayers and good thoughts.
