steroids and atopica will work for allergies but i prefer temarilp which is prednisolone and steroids have to be weaned on and off so best to give small doses every other day than one big whamy of dexamothesone which is much stronger and does not last long either -- my dd is 6lb and on 1/2 tab every other day and her blood work is perfect - NOW that being said i prefer natural first and tried everything natural for years but she was miserable. Ask your vet about zyrtec as i found in reading that is what works better as many dogs benedryl does not work and they have to give 2-3 times a day - Steroids will not work for food allergy only environmental allergies
