So one of our Boxers that we got through the rescue has horrible allergies. She's allergic to damn near everything. The rescue had an allergen test done, and we have a list of most of them. Anyways, we're really happy with our current vet, he deals with allergy problems a lot. Marge is on a drug called apoquill which she gets daily, and an antifungal every other day. Her allergies are managed, but that's it, and she still has flare ups. When we first got her, we were giving her an allergy shot twice a month, but it didn't help. The apoquill helps a lot.
The past couple months she's been pretty bad, scratching herself a lot, we took her in a while back and they gave her a steroid shot, which helps, but we don't like doing that very often. Twice a year tops. We've been thinking about taking her to a holistic vet, but we have no experience and don't know anyone who has. So I'm asking if anyone has any input on that. Smoke and mirrors, or worth a shot?
Thanks Motown.
