I have not yet asked about the cost of allergy testing. We are currently trying one of the non steriod type antihistimines and most days it is working. But when this stops working.....as everything else has over time....we plan to pursue the allergy testing options. We think - and are guessing - that Sailor's allergies are connected to grass.....and the only way we will gte past that is by allergy shots....since she does play outside with the other pups and goes outside to potty.
Have you started using a shampoo for itchy skin? Our vet sells one....but the one that works best for us is a Tropicanna Oatmeal shampoo and no conditioners or other products. Everything else we use makes the itching worse and therefore we are adding some Fatty Acid to her diet to help her coat instead of conditioners. We cut Sailor's hair down at one point....but saw no difference in the itching.....so this year it has been growing back.
