[QUOTE="JulienSam, post: 124698, member: 4575"] Witzend -- Our dog Allie had horrible allergies -- she was even allergic to people dander (so technically, she was allergic to all of us). Luckily for her & us, the allergies didn't present themselves until she was @ 6 yrs. old. Our vet put her on predinisone when her allergies were at her worst, and it really helped her. The only major side effect was the amount of water she drank -- she'd go through many, many bowls of water in one day. We avoided keeping her on predinisone full-time because of potential liver damage. In the moderate allergy times, we used a spray on the areas she would try to nip at the most (her front paws, esp.). I can't remember exactly what it was called. No advice on what to look for re: tumor growth, but I'd ask the Dr. to keep an eye on Bubba's blood count -- it can be an early indicator that something other than the allergies is causing a problem. Glad to hear Bubba's doing better -- it's always better in the house when everyone, including the furry family members, is feeling well. Julie :happy2: [/QUOTE]
