I had blood work for allergy panel on my boxer. The results should be late this week or early next week. What I’m afraid of is the vet wanting to put him on injections. I’m willing to change his diet or outside cause but not the inj. I don’t want it to turn into money for the vet.

Do you have the contact information for dr winter? I live in arizona and I'm not seeing any doctors that are purely homeopathic. Congrats on the success with your pup. I'm am now getting rid of apoquel after reading these aricles.

Awesome job!! Since you're in CA have you heard of Dr Jean Dodds? She invented a food sensitivity saliva-based test called Nutri-Scan. You let your dog chew on a rope and it goes back to her lab to get tested. My dog cannot have turkey and rabbit, and some things like oatmeal, peanuts, whitefish (including their oils), salmon, lentils... and more. As soon as I put her on a clean raw diet her symptoms went away. She stopped itching, having loose stools and diarrhea, eating grass to vomit, stopped being a "picky eater".. I think allergies are more rare and food sensitivities are more common, at least that's what I've read. Sometimes behavior issues can be diet related, but who knows. Could be a thyroid issue too, I know you mentioned she was thin. Where in CA are you? If you ever decide you want a trainer to get rid of the fear aggression, look at Sean O'Shea of The Good Dog Training & Rehabilitation. They are AMAZING!!! Also really really great of you to declare with the county you no longer have the dog to avoid getting the rabies vac. My dog is due for her rabies shot Feb 6 and I'm getting a titer done tomorrow, just to have it, but I plan on telling the town/state either the dog died or I no longer have it, because I am NOT getting her another rabies shot, or any vaccine for that matter. She is not a truly healthy dog and Im not risking it.

Nice work, Sandra! You are indeed making great strides. Slow and steady improvement is wonderful, and long standing conditions 90% better in 6 months is super.
Keep up the good work!
