[quote=Anonymous]Several thoughts: Allergies are managed they are not cured - if you are one of my clients, I have just outed myself because that is one of my tag lines :) Wipe paws when you come in from outside. Apoquel is a medication used to stop itch sensation. Cytopoint is a every 4-6 week injection that also help tremendously with Atopy. Need to make sure yeast/bacterial infections are gone - hence the abx and medicated foot soaks, etc. Use an ecollar to keep him from chewing his paws while you sort this out. Make sure on flea/tick prevention Consider hypoallergenic diet - Hill's z/d, Hill's Derm Complete. Could also do allergy testing for formulation of desensitization drops, but honestly with the above, I rarely have to go that route. When in doubt, try acupuncture. And there are a few derm docs in the area - James Jeffers is the guru, but I think he is getting close to retiring. SouthPaws, Regional Vet and Friednship all have departments[/quote]
