*jess* Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have a little foster girl here at the moment. When she came to me approx 3 weeks ago she was VERY itchy and had some back end hair loss. After a trip to the vet she has been diagnosed with Atopic dermatitis. The following treatment regime was suggested by the vet. Wash with Malaseb 2 to 3 times per week. Apply Phyhex medicated conditioner to her coat after each wash. Clean her ears 2 to 3 times per week with Epi-Otic. A 7 day course of anti biotics. A 7 day course of Prednisone. Bring her back in 2 weeks for a follow up. This treatment has worked remarkably well. The itching has all but stopped, her hair is growing back beautifully, and she is just much happier....not to mention oh so pretty . My question is now that her Prednisone tablets have stopped she is starting to become a little itchy again, nothing to bad but I dont want it to flare up again, and long term steroids use is not an option. Any suggestions in what else would help her would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
