Anyway, I know some of you have allergies, and I've joined the ranks. After lots of tests, they discovered I have FOOD allergies, of all things! I'm allergic to beef, eggs, flax and sweet potatoes! I'm now on a limited ingredient food, which seems to be helping some BUTT I decided to feast on acorns and twigs in the yard and ended up in the hospital with gastritis. *sigh* We got that under control, and even though they were reminded several times about the food allergies, they (the V-E-T) gave me some bland food to eat for about a week afterwards. Guess what was in it? Yep, BEEF and EGGS! When the Peeps figured it out, they quit feeding it to me, but I had already done a number on my leg furnishings. The problem is, I keep pulling the hair out and my back legs are bald!
So, we have a few of questions…
If you have allergies, what do your Peeps do to relieve the itching?
Do you have to take lots of baths?
Do you have to eat "special" food, too?
Do you use coconut oil, or any other types of supplements to help with your skin and fur? If you put it on your skin, how does your Peep keep you from licking it off?
If you do use supplements, are they topical or do you get them with pill pockets, or on your food?
Do you have any suggestions for my Peeps to keep me from chewing and scratching and ripping my hair out?
Any info you can give the Peeps is appreciated! I'm wearing them out with the ripping and chewing.
This photo was just the beginning. I am now hairless on both back legs. And I've started on my chin. I will be a sad looking Junior Officer if They can't get this under control. And I need to look good in my cap and badge!
Waggies,
Riley
