Please advise, so frustrated.
Our guy has been on allergy shots for over a yr now. He has about 1-2 doses left on his 2nd set of serums - yes, he gets two shots and every 2 weeks as opposed to 1x a month. A few months back he got so terribly bad (horrible skin crust creeping all over him that didn't respond to antibiotics/prednisone) even with those, he had to go on Atopica which he still takes.
No more crusty skin but now his eyes are always watering and have to wiped daily to the point now he's got the brown ring going on around the eyes and brown goo on cloth when I wipe, pretty often. He is on grain free food, supposedly nothing he is allergic to, frequent baths, probiotics. He gets a claritin at night. Benedryl seemed to do nothing. This eye watering is new the last month or so. Eyes are white and clear though! Tried Nutrisca then they eye watering started so went back to Earthborn. He does sneak into the cat food at times but it's grain free as well. Ugh!
The allergy test he got is older now and the vet spoke about doing a new one at over $300 again. I didn't see any difference with him until we started Atopica. They wanted to do Apoquel for him but just can't get any. It's also a blood version which I hear isn't even reliable. I don't know what I should do at this point?
Any advice??? HELP!
