I'm ITCHY, MOM!!! -- Bobby
Looking for ideas how to help Bobby.
He has a rash and is SO itchy. the 1st 2 trips to the vet, they put him on prednisone for 10 days. The frist time, the rash cleared up completely. Not so the second time.
I took him to another vet; who checked him all over for fleas; nothing. He has over groomed and scratched to having scabs all over as well. Now Bobby is on prednisone for a 3rd try, PLUS wearing an ecollar to stop him over grooming so we can try and get it all to heal. He is so long and lithe he reaches right around the collar!
Gave him a bath last evening, that relieved the itch for a bit.
Both vets think it is an allergy; but to what? Second vet thought first it was the allergy to flea bites; but there are NO fleas, no flea dirt, no one else in the house is itching or scratching. and with 13 pets here, if it was fleas you'd think SOMEONE else would show signs!
If it is the food, is one week on a different food long enough to tell?
I think he had the rash when he arrived here in April; not sure. I know he has had it since mid May poor guy! And it is getting worse. i just don't know what more to do to help him.
Suggestions, ideas, thoughts, welcome!
