Our boy has A TON of allergies. We had a blood test done and of course he was allergic to everything. We've already taken care of the food allergies--he eats Nutrisca Chicken and Chick Pea recipe (this was the only food I could find that was free of all of his allergies).
But he has a lot of environmental allergies as well that we can't eliminate. My question is does anyone have these issues and have a recommendation for some maintenance therapy? He recently took antibiotics because his skin on his face became infected. They also gave us Apoquel. Between the two his face cleared up and looked great! But the Apoquel would make him vomit (about once every 36 hours). I tried giving him a smaller dose and it doesn't seem to have the same therapeutic effect. I also read that it might not be the best long term solution, also it's expensive. And of course he can't be on antibiotics forever!
We are trying to be more diligent about wiping his folds too. We have a 7 week old baby at home so his poor folds haven't been taken care of like they need to be. Washing with baby soap and wiping with mal-a-ket wipes. Thinking of using an anti fungal powder as well.
