I understand how you feel. But you have to do what you have to do. Like Maria, said better that he’s happy while he’s here than to live a long, miserable life.

I have to say that I really don’t understand why your mom won’t respect that certain foods will make Jasper worse.

I will tell you that no matter how much you spend, you may never have the answers you’re seeking. We know some of the things that Chester’s allergic to, but obviously not all. Even the shots that he gets for the allergies don’t seem to be helping an awful lot. The one thing that helps him the most are those life shortening little pills. I hate that he may not live out his life expectancy, but I’m glad to keep him happy will he is here. I used to worry a lot about how I was damaging him and that he wouldn’t be he as long as another Toy Fox Terrier without allergies, but I’ve learned to put that aside and just enjoy the here and now. I also think that God sent him to us, knowing that we wouldn’t ignore his health problems like some people would.

After we did the newest set of tests, I was hopeful, but so far I’ve seen no difference. We did find out about some things that we didn’t know he was allergic to before, like cats, but still I wish there was a magic answer.

Try not to worry.
