German Shepherds Curse

The battle starts everyday
His itch will not go away
Scratch and scratch is all he does
I yell to stop from above

Itching and biting evermore
Skin covered in sores
Itching continuously grows
When it stops nobody knows

As I wish it to stop
Redness, allergies, and hot spots
Going, going, non-stop
Trying to reach the itch up top

Off to the vet we go
Hoping to keep the cost low
Shepherd curse is well known
Several test he will undergo

Finally, a pill that helps
Remove most the welts
Finally relief he finds
Giving him peace of mind

He takes Ketoconazole Tablets 200mg (1 tablet two days a week to control the yeast). Apoquel Tablets - 16 mg (1 tablet a day). It has made a lot of difference. Give Bella a big hug - :)
