<DIV>My Maggie Wags also has SEVERE allergies and I consider myself a
pretty good authority on allergies.</DIV>
<DIV>Maggie is my second dog with bad allergies, my first Basset I
was clueless, Maggie also had to go on a very low dose of PREDS which I
hate, but we were desperate to get her some relief she takes desensitizing
shots for the last three years, but those shots are not a CURE
!!!!! they only give her relief and builds her immunity, but this has been
an exceptionally bad year for allergies. </DIV>
<DIV>My vet told me to bath Maggie <FONT size=3>THREE</FONT><FONT size=2>
times a week to wash off the allergens, Maggie is allergic to wheat
protein and oatmeal which the majority of anti itching shampoos have so
those were not an option. we tried Malaseb and no help so I finally found a
shampoo called </FONT><FONT size=3>ALLERMYL</FONT><FONT size=2> and
it helps her big time, the first time we used it, I didn't see much relief but
after her second bath, WOW ! I also use Gold Bond anti itch
cream on her lesions which she only has on her back. so between the
frequent baths, Benadryl and the preds and gold bond we are successful in
finding her the relief of her allergies. Once we have a consistent
cold spell and killing frost she will be able to go off her preds and only take
her monthly shots. I also DO NOT make her wear her collar around the
house, her neck breaks out from the metal tags so she only wears her
collar when we go for a walk or ride in the car</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>The Allermyl shampoo is quite expensive but well worth the price to
get Maggie some relief. Now if there was only a shampoo to stop the severe
pain in my back legs ??????? bwahahahahaah</DIV>

<DIV>PS and I would suggest that those of you who don't have dogs with
allergies, don't judge or second guess those of us who know what the H** we are
doing !!!!!</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
