We got the allergy test back. Dustmites seem to be the main culprit, although I still think the pollens are wicked this year and that is a contributing factor. Dustimite do die off in cooler weather, so I'm waiting for Fall. Also, doc said she is highly allergic to fleas. I have not seen ONE flea on her, so they must be jumping on, having a Maddie lunch and then jumping off. Of course, allergy shots were prescribed. At $200.00 a pop, that's just not an option right now. So, I've done some research on homeopathic alternatives and came upon this product called Skin-Eze. It's all natural, with the complete ingredient list open to anyone. I've ordered the tabs and shampoo and will let you know how the Roo does with them. She is awful with her itching right now and is wearing the lampshade most of the time. She still is on the steroids but they don't seem to be doing much. Anyway, hoping this new remedy works.
Prayers and rays to you and Maddie that the Skin-Eze will help her with her itchies. Absolutely no fun...those itchies :verdict:
Here are some healing Rays for the Roo. Hope she stops the itchies soon and you new treatment works for her.
