Did you do the allergy tests where they inject possible allergens into the skin, or did they draw blood and test that for possible allergens? We did the blood test when Chester was a young dog, but just recently did the skin test and found that some of the things the blood test said he was allergic to, he isn't. There are also new things on the skin test that we never thought he was allergic to, that he is. Once we found out how much more reliable the skin tests were, we decided to go ahead and do it.

Did they test him to see if he was allergic to Tigger? The recent skin test told us that Chester was allergic to cats!

Whatever you do, remember what we've decided. If the medication necessary for his comfort shorten his life, so be it. I'd rather have Chester live a shorter, but happier life, so we do the prednisone. I don't like it, but it's what I feel I have to do for him. Of course, you know Jasper better than anyone, so you have to do what you know is best for him, too.

Good luck, and give him a hug from me & Chester!
