<div>Oh Gosh, where do I begin, as most of you know I have a hound who has
severe allergies, I am going to a new vet now and we tested Maggie a bout
a year ago and started her on desensitizing injections, which helped big
time UNTIL, we got to the fourth bottle of extract to have her react
horribly and lose most of her hair and she broke out awful, well, lets
just say, it has been a continuous BATTLE for the last 7 months, very
little if no relief at all, we have changed diets 3 times, and in the process
have had her on preds ( this new vet doesn't like preds or wants to use them
either ) but he had no choice, things were so bad that the preds were the only
option, so we have been trying for 7 months to get her OFF the preds with no
success.</div>
<div>I ( ME ) the bitch requested a test to check her liver
and also check for cushings ! Maggie is getting no better, horrible skin
lesions and no relief even with bathing twice a week with medicated
shampoos, she is drinking tons of water and she consumes her
food, she does not eat she inhales !!!!!!! so yesterday they
kept my Maggie to do blood work, first draw was too fatty when they spun
it down so they couldn't do the test for the cushings, they sent her home,
we did a 14 hour fast actually it was 16 hours, took her back this morning
, drew blood, spun it down and her blood was light pink and foamy, not a red
serum like it should be, so they are keeping her again, she is on
IV'S and they will do another draw at 5 PM . this girl gets NOTHING off the
table, NO table scraps, NO treats of any kind, NO supplements just
PLAIN KIBBLE Natural Balance Lamb & Rice, 12% fat content 21 %
protein that's it !!!!!!! Dr. Bob doesn't know what is going on, he
is scratching his head on this one, because she is on such a restricted
diet. I cried most of the way home, I am exhausted emotionally and
physically also. my whole life is consumed with doing right
for my Maggie. I feel like a failure ! I would give a
million dollars right now to have my mom give me a hug and have a bowl of her
chicken noodle soup and a piece of her lemon meringue pie</div>
