Lex's improved coat. And some Questions.

• Lex's improved coat. And some Questions. zatchbell322 Posted : 3/16/2008 11:26:37 PM I have been battling Lex's allergies since he was 6 months old. We have finally got them under control with proper diet, hardcore flea prevention and allergy meds. I just wanted to show some updated pics of his coat, it is so much better. I have a question though. From the middle of his back down the hair is still shorter that the rest of his body. Will it ever eventually grow back in all the way? He has been on the meds since January. Is there anything I can give him to help it grow in?   Before - [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b281/zatchbell322/Pictures321.jpg[/img]  [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b281/zatchbell322/Pictures343.jpg[/img]   After - I know this isn't the best picture but you can see it has all grown back in.

• ColleenC Posted : 3/17/2008 9:26:23 AM He does look a ton better!  What meds are you giving him?  Also, what type of supplements are you feeding?  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• matthews Posted : 3/19/2008 1:37:55 PM  Our Quinnie, bless his little soul, had terrible allergies.  Bad enough that his heart enlarged and he had a murmur.  We ended up moving him to an all fish kibble diet and our vet got us allergy shots which which I administered SubQ once a month.  Plus he was on a mild steroid by mouth.  He did much better after that.  However, we believe that the steroid masked his lymphoma which is the reason it made it to stage 5 before we knew he was sick. You might ask your vet about the allergy shots though.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ottoluv Posted : 3/19/2008 1:51:12 PM Congrats, it looks like it's growing in well. Biotin is good for hair growth. A good MVI may be a good idea for a short period of time too. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

She says he is doing so well on the pills to keep doing them for a few months. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
