Answer: I Would See Vet To See If 3-4 Week Course Of Antibiotic Like Cephalexin May Be Needed Or Now Single Injections Of Long Acting Antibiotic Like Convenia Can Be Helpful As Well. Some Dogs Do Need Low Dose Oral Prednisone During Allergy Seasons. You Can Ask Your Vet About Drug Called Temaril P Which Uses Very Low Doses Of Pred Along With Antihistamine All In One Pill. Also Can Use Supplements Like Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil As Well As Dmg Liquid And Proanthozone Which May Help As Well When Used Long Term. Also All Natural Yucca Intensive Can Help As Well. |
