• Thank you for advice...that is exactly what I am doing....


  • @debradownsouth it's called her itching down quite a bit.


  • @elbrant my homeopath doctor precribes.. I do not recommend do it on your own


  • @tuts said in Allergic Reactions:

    my homeopath doctor precribes

    Yes, but what is it?


  • @elbrant it does not matter what was prescribed for my dog, because all have diffrent symptoms and every remedy schoud be selected individully.


  • @tuts said in Allergic Reactions:

    it does not matter

    The point is that we are sharing information about Allergic Reactions, if you have experience with it, I'd love to hear about it. You mentioned that you are:

    @tuts said in Allergic Reactions:

    using homeopathy ( under control of my homeopath doctor) and balancing his raw pray model diet.

    I'd love to know more. What type of homeopathy therapy/treatment was recommended? How exactly are you "balancing his diet"? Was the exact cause of the allergy ever determined? Your experiences might be useful for another member/reader, now, or in the future.

    If you aren't going to tell us what happened and how it was handled, then why bother mentioning it?

    Sorry, I just do not know what exactly helped. For last half year I read a lot and changed a lot.. I have started from this article https://www.rfas.uk/allergies?fbclid=IwAR3uekcwrNC3vmpJhSbaZqhuNZHz8uzr5Do7ousmXjE4cBIwQDnjKyWub_s Hi is on Raw Prey Model. I have exluded pork and reduced the amount of beef. Chicken is only organic or from the farm. Also, I am adding marine phytoplankton to his food. During this period, my homeopath doctor has changed the precriptions also. There is no quick solution here.


  • When there is one single well done peer reviewed study supporting homeopathy, instead of a thousand from every major country in the world blatantly pointing to it being fake science, I'd be interested. Most dog allergies are animal protein related, so the diet change may have logically helped. Sadly they often then become allergic to the new protein. That said, much as I loved feeding raw, the last several years of well-controlled research finds no evidence it is beneficial over just kibble. If your dogs love it, feed it. Otherwise don't feel guilty that you are depriving them.


  • Because one of our dogs was always licking her paws we did the allergy tests. Interesting results. Among the things she was allergic to were grass and cotton. My wife ditched her cotton nightgown, we kept her off grass as much as possible, and washed her paws after walks. Seemed to help.

    One funny part is that they test for allergies to humans. I found that funny though if we can be allergic to dogs why not the other way around?

    My own pet theory -- no studies to back it up -- is that we see more allergies in dogs because the environments we provide are too sterile. I think their immunological systems are very robust -- necessary from an evolutionary POV. This is good but we make sure that they don't really encounter any filth, which makes it hard for a ramped up immunological system to acquire the experience needed to distinguish the benign from the threatening.


  • @donc Actually it's not just your opinion. Some serious research is coming out about humans and animals and gut bacteria. We have truly over sterilized to the point our bodies are losing the ability to defend ourselves.

    LOL on testing for human allergy. I never thought about that! I wonder how often that comes up?
