I went to the vet yesterday with Doc. He had begun to shake his head again and scratch at his ears, so I wanted him checked. ((He had done this before but had almost entirely sopped))
His ears looked red but no infection. But the vet said that he has allergies, probably seasonal inhaled, but manybe his food. He did a good search of him and found 2 hot spots I had missed
one on his neck and one on his tail... He got a steroid shot and a 10 day course of Clemastine.
I feel bad though. Here is my boy and I have been correcting him at classes and when we are working for scratching because I thought he was doing it to blow me off. But now I have watched him a lot closer in the past 24 hours and he is scratching a lot for a dog with no fleas... How could I have missed it?
Heres hoping we can figure out what he is allergic to and save ourselfs to cost of allergy tests! (and why didn't I buy pet inurance again...
)
What are others experiences with allegies?
