Annie not well

[Xena Dog Princess]

I hope Annie has a restful night.

 

[Cath]

Not too bad Thank you, but she did rush out for a wee as soon a the door was opened.

 

[Cath]

Well after a couple of weeks on tablets, I thought all was well. Her fur had began to grow, but know she has started to bit her legs again.
So back to the vets this morning.

 

[Lab_adore]

oh no @Cath, I hope it can be resolved quickly. Too many pups in the wars at the moment

 

[Granca]

Oh dear, I hope Annie’s allergy is cured soon.

 

[edzbird]

has she stopped the tablets? Hope the vet can get her more comfortable.

 

[Xena Dog Princess]

I hope you're able to get to the bottom of it, Cath.

 

[Cath]

Yes. her tablet finished on the 2 October and she seemed well and happy, but last night she didn't stop biting her legs. I had to sit with her to stop her. So we have to go back to the vets this morning.

 

[HAH]

Poor @Cath, that’s disappointing; hopefully they’ll get to the bottom of it quick-smart.

Sorry to read this about your lovely Annie, really hope the vets can get to the bottom of it x

 

[Cath]

Well back from the vet's. She is back on the steroids for 10 days and now needs to have her legs washed in Malaseb.
If not better we will need to go back again. The vet did say there is something that she could have, from Sept until Dec, but doesn't really like dogs being on drugs that long if not needed.

What a shame , poor love , fingers crossed it gets better without further treatment xxxxx

 

[Cath]

Thanks everyone, you are all so kind. She is now asleep on the sofa with Ted the cat.

 

[SteffiS]

Oh poor Annie, so sorry to hear this.
One of my cats used to have steroid injections monthly through the summer and autumn to manage allergies like this. She used to rip all her fur out on her tummy and was a miserable mess until we started her on steroids. After a couple of years we began to space the injections out until she only needed two a year to keep things under control.

 

[Atemas]

Glad Annie has got more steroids and there is a plan of action if things don’t improve.

 

[Charlie]

I'm so sorry Cath, poor Annie Have a good cuddle with Ted sweetie xx

 

[Beanwood]

Oh poor Annie! We have had an itchy dog here, no spots, no rash.... but horribly itchy. Casper had to have a steroid injection in the end and twice weekly bathing with Malaseb. I think he is OK now. I was surprised how effective the Malaseb was mind.

Poor Annie, it must be so unpleasant to be itchy; a friend's Lab is itchy during the summer, so hope Annie's will soon naturally go if it is due to an allergen. Hope the present treatment does the trick. Our dogs are such a worry.

 

[Cath]

It's funny that it is Sept to Dec. I wonder if the trees and fallen leaves have anything to do with it. We live down a dirt track with lots of trees.
I just can't think what else it can be. Fingers crossed that the Malaseb it help her.
