Back from the vet...

back from the vet, was there for almost 2 hours.. $585 later, ruby is a candidate for the bicom , which they are going to call me when they can set up her first treatment. we are to continue the food trial, and keep a log on how she does. they took more blood, urine work, and i should have the results in 2 weeks, as some of the tests were being sent to michigan. they also took blood for a thyroid test, but a different one then the one she had last year.. i can only imagine what the bicom will cost, as she will probably need more then one treatment, as each treatment tests for different stuff. we are doing the food one first, then the airborne allergy next , and then i have to bring all her food/supplements/water for the next one.. http://www.bicom2000.org/

so tonight she got pork shoulder. at the vets she got 3 pieces of freeze dried chicken and by 6pm she was itching all over, to the point i had to give her an allergy pill from the vets office to help her calm down.. so we now know any kind of chicken in any form is OUT for Good.. hopefully the pork will show a much better reaction then the turkey , i am trying for no itching at all.. food trials are sooo much fun, no supplements, nothing but the food for a few weeks to see how she does.. then we add another protein in to see how the next one does, we still have to do beef, venison, elk, buffalo, fish, lamb and any other exotics i can get to find what works for her...
