[Dailydrool] food question

[Drew McQuade]

""So far, it has only been a couple of days, he still has red skin."

I can tell you from personal experience that it takes a while for an 
allergic reaction to calm down, if no medication is involved. For years I 
was allergic to chocolate, nuts, and a few other things. Since the 
antiihistamine made me tired, I would not take it. But that meant I spent 
days feeling uncomfortable.

I'm sure it's the same for hounds. Even on medication, Abner's really red 
right now. This weekend his allergies awoke with a vengeance. Even a shot 
and regular prednisone doses have not entirely calmed it down.

In a week or so you may see real improvement in your hound, as long as you 
don't make a mistake and feed some of the allergen. Hope all goes well for 
your baby.
