Creamsicle and her allergies. Again.

I guess she's showing you what she thinks of yesterday's events!! Don't you just love cattitude???
I try to stay away from Pred - on a regular basis anyway. That's how two of my Lhasas ended up with diabetis. They were both on a daily dose for an extended period and suffered the consequences. I wish I had known at the time that this is a possibility, but didn't find out till after the fact. One of them definitely had to be on it, but the other was borderline. "Sigh" Of course the vet they were seeing at the time didn't know how to properly manage a diabetic dog either - she had a general practice, but birds were her specialty! Needless to say, I found another vet for the crew and have been going to her for many, many years now. She's the best - and even Myndi and Sparky love her!

Prayers & thoughts for Creamsicle and for you .

It's frustrating, I know. My Junoir has spells where he bites and scratches himself raw. He'd gone a month or so doing fine, but I noticed the other day he's back to clawing his neck again. His butt, back legs and the base of his tail are bare! Not a pretty sight!

Aw, well then, prayers are going out for Junior and you. She's already stopped the chewing so apparently the depo shot is doing its job but I worry about her being on Prednisolone long term. It seems that nothing else helps her, though. The scabs come back and she loses hair as she walks! At one point, the top of her head was bald, also under her chin and her tail looked like a little rat tail. She also had a nasty black scab on her lip, poor girl. My vet said that it was like having a severe case of poison ivy. Can you imagine?
