We know about the antihistamines now, but our old vet was convinced that prednisone was the way to go. I wasn't as informed as I am now either. Unfortunately, Max is the one to pay for both our stupidity.

He does antihistamines and his allergy shots on a regular basis, but we now have the added problem.

Max has not been a cheap dog either. But I can't imagine our lives without the little guy. He is my little man and Dick's little bitty buddy (our nicknames for him). He's been worth every penny in love and laughter.
Our old vet had Chester on Prednisone, too. I’m so worried about what I’ve potentially done to his health.

I wish I had been better informed about the consequences of it before I gave it to him for such a long time.

We do shots and Benadryl now too, and have for a long time. We're seeing some improvement, finally.

Robin, we call Chester our Million Dollar Dog.
