Seeking Advice for Bichon With Severe Skin AllergiesPosted By Aman (Uk) on 03/06/2018
We have tried lots of different medications to treat this but they’ve been little to no help. There was one medicine (unfortunately I can’t remember the name) which got rid of his symptoms completely but he ended up vomiting blood due to it creating a stomach ulcer so we stopped it straight away. He was also given steroid ear drops to clear an infection that he’d gotten in his ears which also helped clear his symptoms for 3 days but then it came back again. Our vets thought it may be a food allergy so they’d given us a prescribed diet for him which we’ve been using for 2 years now, but we haven’t seen an improvement from this. I’ve noticed that he tends to get more itchy than usual when we used to give him chicken. We clean him with baby wipes when he goes outside for his business & also feed him from a plastic bowl (I’ve mentioned this in case it’s useful).
We’re currently treating his symptoms with the following right now which, keeping in mind only just about take off the edge of the itching for him (I have also added images for these):
I’m always on top of his medication so I rarely forget to give him & he’s up to date on his advocate, worming meds & vaccines. I really want him to get better & not be troubled by this anymore as this is restricting him from living life to the fullest & he deserves better. If anyone’s able to help then I’d greatly appreciate it. TIA
