My parent’s 3 year old poodle has suffered from allergies for most of his life. After trying multiple food changes we finally opted for a blood test. He has just been diagnosed with grass allergies. How do you avoid grass in a dog???
He gets to the point in the summer where he itches his skin raw and then gets infections. He isn’t itching as bad currently, but we did just have 3 feet of snow 2 weeks ago. We've had success using amitriptyline to control his ear infections, which are thought to be allergy related but he still itches uncontrollably. The vet has consulted an allergist… somewhere out of state and there has been some talk of allergy shots. Does anyone have experience using medicine to control allergies vs allergy shots?
