do u have an itchy dog? [View all]
so, any of my peeps that have dogs w allergies- theres a good treatment out there.
cytopoint is a shot that gives 4-8 wks relief from allergies.
i had biff at the vet yesterday cuz hes been licking his feet to the point of damage. hes always had skin troubles, and itchy feet. hes got a yeast infection going on cuz of it. ive been treating those feet for a couple weeks w neosporin and a cone. which he is a super good sport about. but it was only helping a little.
well, he got that shot yesterday, and he hasnt licked once. already the inflammation is way down.
his allergies r seasonal, mostly. probably a few shots a yr wd keep him healthy and happy.
he also got a once a mo arthritis treatment. hes 12, and i was worried that he was licking his carpal joints- his wrists. xrays showed some degradation, but not horrible. i know his hips suck, tho.
it was a spendy visit, w a bunch of issues including needing a good pedicure cuz he was objecting to me screwing w his feet.
but w all my doggy issues these days, this was a great relief.
