Hi everyone. Iām at crying point for my lovely female boxer. Sheās 7 this year and sheās been the most poorliest dog Iāve ever had. Iāve read about the same problem on this forum that my bitch has and Iāve read all of peoples solutions but Iāve done them all. Iām devastated for her. For 6 years my girl has had the gulping thing but can I start by telling you of her illness so you will understand why I canāt try all of your suggestions . She started at an early age of itching and scratching her ears were left bleeding and her chest sliced from her claws. She has no fur left on her chest now. Sheās bald. The fur just doesnāt grow back. So in 2018 I had an allergy test done . It cost Ā£450 but it wasnāt the money ( Iām just trying to explain that it should be an extensive test for that price. ). It turns out sheās allergic to 13 thingsā¦ā¦.dust, grass, weeds, beech trees, birch trees, ostrich in dog food, venison in dog food, grain, blue fish ( I canāt remember the rest . Iām waiting for the vet to send me a print out). So I put her on a hypoallergenic food, grain free dog food. The vet that told me of all these allergies said that a dog can eat everything on a pig apart from the oink hmmm funnyā¦ so sheās on pork , sweet potato and apple. But her gulping remained. All her life when sheās had an episode of gulping Iāve automatically opened the back door and sheās ran out to eat grass for 30 minutes minimum but you may remember that I said sheās allergic to grass 😔. Recently I moved house which has no garden so when she has a gulping fit Iām walking to the field at the bottom of the road at 3am in the morning just to stop her from gulping. The grass seems to stop the gulping but itās not doing her grass allergy any good. She panics and just expects grass. Sheās been put on omeprazole 3 months ago and Iāve spaced her food out incase itās too heavy on her stomach to have big portion. I also got her a food bowl and water bowl with them lumps in the bowl ( to stop them from eating too fast ) and I also took her collar off ( I only put her collar on when itās time for walkies. ). Sheās gone the longest time ever without having a bad gulping fit , which is 10 weeks and when she has a small panic gulp I put her head in my hand and stroke her throat ( easier without the collar on ). But today no stroking her throat would calm her down. 3 hours of gulping and panicking ā¦ she vomited. She has never vomited. The vet has put her on a steroid called medrone to fight her itching but itās not the answer to ALL her allergies and Iām also aware that steroids ruin the organs in time. Sheās been on them 4 years now and when sheās had to come off them for an acl operation her itching went worse . Sheās also been diagnosed with pancreatitis last week so
. If anyone has got any recent suggestions they are more than welcome . Just bare in mind sheās limited with all her problems .
Thankyou -
