OK, everyone might know that Buddy's allergies are really bad right now. We had allergy testing done months ago- he's allergic to dust mites, fleas and cockroaches.
So, we have the house sprayed once every two months, he's on a flea preventative (though I've never seen a flea on him) and... we just had the air ducts in the house cleaned, the carpets professionally cleaned and steamcleaned as well has have an air purifier in every room of the house.
Whew.
He's also still on his ED. He's been on his ED for over a month now and there has been no change for the better, whatsoever. In fact, he's much worse. So, that led us to believe that maybe it was environmental. Which then led us to the extreme cleaning of the house.
The dude who came out to clean out the air ducts suggested we rip out the pink fuzzy stuff near our big vent, so we did that. It was FULL of dust and crap. He said if we had any allergy sufferers than that would be the biggest culprit. *sigh*
So we ripped that out and the house is as clean as it gets. (We also have someone come professionally clean the house once/week).
Now we are just hoping and praying that his allergies get better. He is in so much discomfort.. three of his four paws are chewed and red and swollen. His belly is red and his skin is so itchy over so much of his body.
If you can pull your good vibes together and send them Buddy's way, I'm sure he would be very happy. He deserves a break from all that ails him.
Thank you!
