Many of you know over the last few years Kuma has been having terrible allergy issues.I had him allergy tested and he is allergic to pretty much everything outside, a long list of food and a few things indoors. For the past 2 years he has been on antibiotics for 3 weeks at a time, then he is off for 2 to 4 weeks then goes back on due to another flare up. He is also now on a low dose of pred at all times. I have tried a bunch of different foods and finally put him on Raw. I tried a holistic treatment that helped another very sick akita and it did not help him at all. Now he keeps getting infected anal glands and gets then flushed and infused then more pred and antibiotics. He was just on 10 days of Zeniquin and I woke up to find blood all over this morning so he may need his anal glands removed. The only medication they said may help his allergy issues is really expensive. so my question is has anyone else dealt with these types of issues and had any success treating it? I really dont know what to do for him at this point. Its really hard seeing my sweet boy sick all the time. If you have any suggestions please share!

Has anyone heard of this organization? Someone told me I should try contacting them for help.

Feel free to email at SkylineAkitas@att.net

and actually I am a member. They are a fantastic organization that is working to ensure quality care at animal hospitals across the country. I dont know about this particular section of the organization, but I can tell you that overall this is a great group.

Thank you J!

I really hope you can find some answers.  I have not dealt with allergy issues yet and I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you.  When you have time check your email....
