Hi all,
I have a fur baby that is 10 months old. He developed allergies fairly soon after he was born, about 6 weeks. They started as dermatitis and evolved into eosinophilic granuloma complex on his paws. He had a few rodent ulcers as well. Basically, swollen lesions on his paws that he would bite and lick at. Our vet tried numerous things, and we settled on Depo steroid shots which cleared them up, and now we are on 6 months of Atopica daily. He has gained a ton of weight, is on special hypoallergenic food but I am nervous about reading about all the risks with Atopica.He is too young to be on medication for life.
Help!!
