So glad you got the steroid shot! That's about the only thing that helped my Ladygirl when she walked in grass that lined a bar ditch full of drainage water from the local public pool. So ...... she had a double whammy, grass allergies and chlorine from the drainage water in the ditch! Oh, she was so miserable! Bless their hearts, they're tough little dogs, but their skin is so very sensitive on their underbellies!

Thanks for all your help and experiences! I ended up taking Dally to a vet to get a steroid shot, and within hours she was already feeling better! :-) She even went camping with some friends of mine (and owners of a Cardigan) and didn't have the slightest itch. I'm going to try my best to keep an eye on her allergies and try to not let it get too out of hand.

My Sparty is allergic to grass,dandelions, thistle, house dust, etc. The list is endless. After a couple difficult years with predinsone we had him tested and now give him a shot once a month under the skin for allergies. That was about 6 years ago and he does well on that. We did not want to continue too long on the steroids because it can cause other more serious health problems. You should talk to your vet about ways to help but if it is severe like our's was the testing really helped. They…

We had to take Midas to the vet for his seasonal allergies and they put him on steroid pills. Our vet also suggested that to help with possible grass allergies we should wipe down his paws and belly with a damp cloth after coming in from outside. We didn't even bother with that though because half a steroid pill once a day keeps him from itching. He does lick spots occasionally, but that's just on bad days. It's no fun seeing your pup itch especially when they get hotspots :(. Good luck with…
