"My Amos's nose was getting dry and raw and he was itching his feet. (though later I found out he had cut his foot)
I took him to the vet, and the vet prescribed a high dose of fresh fish oil. He told me that the omega-3 additives in the food…"

Hi guys,So I have an 11 week old goldendoodle puppy (Jasper) and I believe he is suffering from seasonal allergies. After he comes in from outside, he is constantly biting his paws, tail, and rubbing…Continue

Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"I think you found yourself a great new vet. Excellent advice.
Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common kind of allergy in dogs, and the flea bite could definitely have been contributing to his general itchiness.
Chlorpheniramine is…"
Niki & Jasper replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"UPDATE:
I just couldn't stand to see Jasper itch as much as he was doing, so I brought him into a different vet. This was the first vet (out of 3) that said it was likely not food allergies as they are not very common, so so far off to a good…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Here's a photo of one of Ann's dogs induction schedules:
Here's a test result sheet:
Here's JD after his testing:
And here's a link to the discussion about…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Well, the testing that JD had, and the other dogs in the AD group was not a skin patch or local anesthetic, they were sedated and the testing involved shaving a large area and injecting dozens of allergens. There's a link with photos in this…"
Lisa and Daisy Doodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Yes, she was tested, skin patch, local anesthetic.
I will pass this on to my daughter.
Thanks, Karen."
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Hmmm. Well, we have 90 members in the Atopy Support Group, and nobody's specialist has ever mentioned using pills for immunotherapy. I do an awful lot of research on it, and I've never heard of it either. There is some hokum thing with…"
Lisa and Daisy Doodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Lily does this on her back as well, as I said, she does not like being petted, I can however grab her smoosh face and kiss her right on the lips - and I do! LOL"
Lisa and Daisy Doodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"One thing that I was wondering though is the Specialist had "pills" made not shots....is my daughter getting taken advantageous of?
I am so hoping she feels better this spring. When they went to North Carolina to the beach and salt water…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Supposedly, when you run your hand along their side, down lower, closer to the belly, if the flesh ripples, it's a sign of allergies, but I don't think there's any scientific evidence to back that up."
Niki & Jasper replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"I forgot to add, when I run my fingers down Jasper's lower back, it is very sensitive for him and he arches his back and moves away from my hand. I remember reading something about when dog's are sensitive around that area that it is…"
Niki & Jasper replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"What an adorable picture! I hope that Lily finds some relief soon though with the immunotherapy. "
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Also, even when the grass is not covered with snow and the trees are not dormant, the dog will only react to them (or any other plant pollens) when the plant is going to seed and putting out pollens. In temperate climates, that usually means spring…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Yes, they have to be off meds to do the testing, because the meds will block or modify the reaction to the allergens. That's why we did JD's testing in the winter. You hope that the dog will have started to respond to the treatment by the…"
Lisa and Daisy Doodle replied to Niki & Jasper's discussion Itching out of control"Ugh, more bad news for my Lily....she actually had to take her off Clartian to start the process....poor thing. Luckily the grass will be covered with snow and the trees are dormant."
