Sierra has been on the temeril p since November. Im trying a new drug called hydroxyzine 50 mg which is just an antihistimine as i dont like her recent behaviors. It has no steroids in it so hopefully it will work
I tried taking her off the temeril and it didn't work, she itched like crazy:(

One of the board members was telling me about a new med for allergies that is drastically lower in cost than atopica. I wonder if this is it? Keep us updated on it. I don't give Winston temeril p unless absolutely necessary due to the steroid, and I can't afford atopica or the generic version. Hopefully this drug will be a viable option!

My friends lab has horrible allergies and has had a lot of success with the hydroxyzine. Hope it works for Sierra.

The other med is apoquel, its out of stock till 2015 maybe that was the one?
I am hoping it works too, sierra has been redirecting on rufus and sadie, guarding the food and water bowls, and gets really amped up which i am not liking. I am hoping its all due to the steroids in the temeril and will stop once off it.

I haven't gotten it yet, it should arrive in a few days. I took sierra off the temeril anyway and been giving her benedryl till the pills arrive, her behaviors have gotten a little better she isnt on edge as much anymore but is itching bad still. I hope the new meds work once i get them

That really sucks. Maybe a few more days might show relief?

I would give it a few more days to see but I think it is supposed to be pretty fast acting.
