Allergy Specialist

We have tried every test our primary vet and we could think of.  Four different food trials have been tried.  Two emergency vet visits.  The itching and scratching continues.  The vet has recommend we go see an allergy specialist.  We had our initial consultation today and the specialist feels pretty confident that she knows what is going on.  She says the allergies he has are most likely environmental and not due to food.  Currently Riggs skin is fighting off a bacteria infection due to the allergies and that needs to be cleaned up before they can do any type of allergy tests to find out what he is allergic to specifically.  So more medications, sprays, shampoo & conditioner to get his skin infection under control.  Total bill today : $452.33.
