Owen update on allergies etc
After talking to others we will be taking Mr Owen to a allergy/dermatologist vet in the near future. Things have not been that rosy for the boy over Christmas.
1. He just got off cone treatment due to him licking his stomach so much that he had open sores. He also had his foreskin swollen.
2. He is on flea medication again (as are all the cats). This time the vet wants them on it 3 times given every 2 weeks.
3. He still gets his weekly bath but the shampoo had to be changed. His normal one is on back order. He is now on. Virbac Animal Health Dermatology Hexadene.
4. He still gets his dog food that is only salmon. Due to allergies.
5. He still gets his Reactine once a day
6. He now gets Coconut Oil rubbed on his skin daily and fish oil daily.
7. He is on Glucosome (spelling?) for his elbow displysia.
He has broke out in a very mild rash and I will be stopping his baths for a bit as it is very dry in Alberta. I have also put a shirt on him so he can not get to his belly.
I am looking for knowledgeable feedback on him. I should mention my biggest fear is losing him as I had a cat we had to put to sleep due to extreme allergies. It was not an easy decision and yes we did all we could for Pony. I am finding I am getting more and more scared with Owen that I will be placed in the same position.
Owen has not had allergy tests. He was placed on this due to when he was a puppy and had symptoms in rashes and bacteria or yeast on his skin and in his ears. (I am remembering from when he was a pup so over 2 years ago). Vet told us fish is the diet to go to.
As usual any questions please ask I will answer them.
