Hmm, I don't know about the prednisone, Medusa. I wouldn't want him on it long term, with the possible kidney complications. I don't recall that one ever being mentioned.

Well, we went to get the allergy shots today, have a full set up for one year. This may take 4 to 9 MONTHS to see any impact! About 75% of felines do get an improvement with the shots.

I got the full allergy report and find it fascinating.

He also got an antibiotic shot today, something new in to the office. It is good for 2 weeks, so I won't need to give him the Clavamox anymore. It is convenia (?) I need to google it and learn more. The clavamox DID clear up the bacteria infection, in 3 days. Had to keep it up for 2 weeks. However he got itchy again this past Tuesday (another nice day, I had the windows open) so he has more scabs. We are hoping this will solve that part of the issue.

Solving the itchiness, unless / until the allergy shots start to have some impact, is still a concern.
