Chronic ear infection/allergies
Hey everyone.
I have two senior chihuahuas. One has the following issues:
-masses:had 2 surgeries removing 8-10 masses, 2 of which were ulcerated
-chronic ear infections, as soon as it’s treated it reappears
-unknown allergies: she’s had 4-5 times in the past couple years where she has been brought to the emergency vet for facial swelling
-she licks her paws sometimes in the spring
Obviously she has allergies but the two vets I have brought her to don’t seem to think there is some kind of good long term solution or have offered an allergy panel. I’ve already tried eliminating chicken and such..I also travel a lot for work and it’s hard to find care for her especially when I just feel like I’m waiting around for something to happen.
Does anyone have experience getting an allergy test and what long term meds may help?
