Allergies

[Guest guest]

Group,

I wanted to ask your advice regarding my 2 ½ year old male English

Mastiff. It seems he has developed some bad skin allergies – with

folliculitis, multiple scabby bumps over his entire back and withers

(none on his belly). The vet first put him on a course of antibiotics

(thought it might be pyoderma). It did nothing. She than followed up

with an antihistamine + small dose of steroid which really helped. She

did a full blood workup on him + an allergy test and believe it or not,

my dog is highly allergic to cat and human dander! She wants to do the

whole allergy shot thing but it is expensive. Do you have any herbal

suggestions for him? I was thinking about Yu Ping Feng san or maybe Xiao

feng san. Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

Howard
