My kitty cat Peach is still struggling with horrible allergies. She is She is at her worst point now. I have an appointment with a new vet this week.
We have been to the vet many times for this. It’s been going on about 4 months. I’ve tried so many foods (rx, limited diet, novel protein). We’ve done steroids, but I’m worried about her having even one more course of prednisone. Omega fish oils did not seem to make a difference. Benadryl and chlorophenamine did not help. She is almost strictly indoors. I’ve keep her indoors for weeks with no change, and it started in January so I’m not sure it’s pollen related. I’ve switched food dishes, litter types, laundry detergents, no down comforter, no rugs, tore the carpet out of the house (seriously), no chemicals, no candles or anything like that, no body lotion for me. I even took her to my parents house to see if she would do better there. No dice.
We still have hydrolzed protein we could try. Maybe switch to raw. I’m hesitant to try Atopica, but if the vet prescribes it, I will. I will make an appointment with a holistic vet if this new vet doesn’t have any ideas. There are no local derm vets within hours of my house.
Does anyone have any advice that has actually worked for them for long term allergies?
I just want my baby to be happy and healthy and I want her hair to grow back on her adorable belly!
