Frustration is having one you care about hurting and there is nothing you can do about it.

Long story short, my 14 month old German Shepherd is balding, bleeding, and just down right itchy.  I’ve had him to the vet and tested for mites, parasites, bacteria, and a whole slew of anything else that goes wiggle in the night.

The concenses is that his allment is allergy related.  Great that norrowed things down a bit . ..or did it.  I’ve tried suppliments, different kibble, and a RAW diet.  All the while doing a slow methodical elimination process trying to rule out food allergies.  So far 5 months later, no success.

In the mean time we had some not so wonderful experiences with Prednisone and a slew of antibiotics that all did nothing to FIX a problem..  only treating symptoms.

To top things off I’ve been waiting a month for the results to come back on an Allergy blood test.  3 week into it the vet called and said the lab had an accendent and the first sample was destroyed.  We needed to give a second sample and then continue to wait several more weeks.

Such is my and Berlin’s frustration.
