Please help me help him?!? Should I give the steroid?

• sooner Posted : 6/24/2006 10:29:50 AM His skin is better. Thank you for asking. I got the Oxy Med and used it with the oatmeal shampoo I already had and it worked well. He seems more comfortable and is clearing up. I'm giving the Pred, but if it recurs I won't give it again - I'll try to find the root problem. The head shaking is still there, but not as nearly as often. I'm not at all sure that this is allergies *except* that the antihistamines do seem to help a little. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• M.W.Lewis Posted : 6/25/2006 11:11:26 PM ORIGINAL: jessies_mom sophia; It's really nice to have someone as knowledgable as you are on the forum; have you studied veterinary medicine or do you work for a vet? Oh you are too kind [] No, I just learned this along the way from a having a dog with health issues. I try to learn from everyone everyday about their dog's issues though. There's so much I wish I understood. I have no idea how vets learn about so many species and make sense of it all. I've been lucky enough to have some very wonderful vets though who have communicated with me and put up with all of my questions thankfully. There's so much to learn, it seems endless.     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Norie Kany Posted : 6/26/2006 3:06:13 PM THANKS SO MUCH.  This thread has been wonderful.  My little cairn is suffering terribly with allergies, both food and environmental.  We've been to the vet often over the past year.  I have already done much of what has been recommended here and although she still chews and scratches often she is not nearly as bad.  I too agree with the Duck and Potato food.  WHAT A DIFFERENCE.  Baths and Fish Oil are a given.  Spray with a cortisol or tea tree oil spray several times a  day.  Poor baby.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
