Miss Maisy had another trip to the allergy vet yesterday. We had weaned her off the steroids over the previous week and, as usual, she broke out in a nasty rash literally within hours of the last dose.
Turns out she also has a secondary bacterial skin infection. which will require a month of antibiotics.
The good news is we're going to try another medication to see if we can stop using steroids. The new medicine is called Atopica and we'll start in a few days, assuming her bloodwork checks out ok. They won't give it to her if she has any liver/kidney function issues.
Meantime, she and Mac and Suzie are enjoying their winter time walks in the woods!
