Laney Belle after one of many nightly Belly Checks to see how much she has broken out that day to report back to the vet.
Well, as most of you know we have had MAJOR problems with Ms. Laney and her allergies. There is no telling how much money we have spent on medicine, hypo-allergenic foods, and treats for her. We have been in and out of the vet for more than a a year and received prescription after prescription. We are going to bite the bullet in January and have her allergy tested, so that we can determine exactly what she is allergic to.
They will take her blood and send it off to a lab and they will test for everything, I have been told. We are very excited to finally find out what it is. They really hate to start her on allergy shots at her young age but if it will keep her comfortable and from scratching and chewing on her paws I am all for it. For the past 3 months she has been on predezone shots, and hopefully we will get lucky and determine what she is allergic to without having to start her on monthly allergy shots. They have told me that if we have to start her so young she will have to change her medicine over and over. The more we change the meds the more expensive they get.
She has been doing really well since we have gotten Lilley and now goes outside and plays for a while. In the past she would go outside and handle her business and dart for the door to come back inside. She spends the majority of her time chewing and scratching. She even misses out on play time with her Daddy. She does not seem to be nearly as uncomfortable as she used to be but if we can get her to a point where there is not itching and breaking out I will be so happy and I am sure she will be as well.
