Life with the Two Crazy Dogs

The temp shot up to 76F yesterday.  I have been sneezing, and sneezing every day for the last 2+ weeks.  From the moment I get up, step out of the house into the car to where I am going, I will be sneezing.  I blame it on the spring pollenation in the air.  I’m not taking any antihistamines yet.  I’m gonna wait till I can’t tolerate this darn sneezing.  Every one in the office told me allergies can happen to a person at any time.  Beautiful.  Absolutely. Fantastic.

Speaking of allergies, Ranger’s allergies are getting worse day by day.  We called Dr. Mitchell and he prescribed Atopica for him.  I picked up the medication this afternoon and this medication is so, so expensive.  Because of his weight and his size, he need to take 100mg and 50mg capsules daily for 15 days.  The two packages costs me $198.88.  I really hope this new medication will work for him.  Of all the success stories I have read about this Atopica, it’s a good medication to control allergy in dogs.  The main side effect of this medication is gastrointestinal problems where your pooch will throw up initially during the first dose of meds.  So far, Ranger is doing great.  No throwing up.  He is outside now chilling out to the evening cool air.
