Thanks Sal.
I know first hand about food allergies. They change your life if you ask me. I have a fatal peanut allergy... I'm the only one in my whole entire family who suffers so when Casey started with her hair loss, I thought that maybe she had developed a food allergy too, obviously not like mine but a food allergy nontheless. The itching was and can be insane! The vet said it was a flea allergy but never said anything about environmentals but I do believe she could be allergic to something in the air too.
I keep her on FrontLine and it does help.
Now she has epilepsy too. I had her on phenabarboital but weaned her back off because it's a huge liver killer. Vet said it could cut her life in half and that was too much for me.
Just seemed not worth keeping her on it all the time, even if she wouldn't sieze. Oh, it kills me to watch her go through those seizures, I and my hubby stay with her so she doesn't fall off the porch. Just kills me but the meds never helped so I monitor them time and intensity wise and let the vet know. He says they are relatively painless for the puppie and moreso painful for the owner. She bounces right back afterwards like it never happened.
I usually know when it'll hit cuz she'll walk around, almost drunk a few hours before.
Those pups of yours are too cute though! Ike's eyes are gorgeous!
