My poor boy has to go back to the dermatologist again on the 13th.<\/p>\n

Things are not looking good. He is acting normal, but his rash is WORSE 2 days after bathing with the special medicated shampoo for some reason.<\/p>\n

It’s clorhexidine shampoo –it’s supposed to clear up the superficial skin infections he keeps getting due to his allergies. But the rashes are NOT going away –even with weekly baths as recommended. The Predisone is also not seeming to help. His rashes were starting to look a little better –then BAM –huge rash all over again.<\/p>\n

I’m running out of funds, energy, etc. If the veterinarians cannot come up with something to help\/a viable treatment plan –I most likely will have no choice but to send Leon back to his program. I’ve been battling with his medical issues for a year and a half (almost) –and they are still not under control.<\/p>\n

I am weighing also if a possible consult at Texas A&M would be feasible for us. It’s a 2 hour drive, but they are the best. If the dermatologist is not able to come up with a treatment (allergy testing and desensitization is one option–but an expensive one), A&M would be another option. I’ll call her office on Monday and see what she suggests.<\/p>\n

We really, really NEED your help, friends! Please help us keep our partnership together! He is my world and my partner in independence. I am hoping that, with the help of your very generous donations, that we will be able to find out the underlying cause of Leon’s medical issues and find a treatment that works and keeps him working happily.<\/p>\n

In more happy news, last week Leon and I attended a Halloween costume party. Here is a photo of us. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
