HI MY DOG WHICH IS A LARGE POM STARTED SCRATCHING HIMSELF ON HIS CHEST AND UPPER NECK, HE DID IT SO BAD THAT HE BECOME BLOODY ALL OVER, I TOOK HIM TO THE VET , THEY GAVE HIM A SHOT OF ANTIBIOTIC CALLED CONVENIA AND PUT HIM ON PREDNISONE WHICH IS A CORTICOSTEROID WITH TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS LIKE FREQUENT URINATION AND BEING THIRSTY ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT, IT ALSO CAUSES ORGAN DAMAGE TO THE DOGS,
NOW HE HAS BEEN OFF PREDNISON FOR 12 DAYS BUT HE IS STILL VERY THIRSTY AND ITCHY, THE WOUNDS LOOK MUCH BETTER, BUT HE SCRATCHES AGAIN AND MAKES IT BLOODY, I PUT SOCKS ON HIS FEET BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE IT , WAHT DO YOU THINK I CAN DO ABOUT THIS SITUATION? THANKS, CHONA
