G.T. went to see the dermatologist this week. He has been licking spots raw on his front feet, and licking underneath his back feet. Before he started on his allergy shots, he used to get ulcerated spots on his cheeks where he would scratch them until they were bloody. For the past few months, he has been messing with his feet. Maw was hoping this was a temporary thing, but finally took him in to be checked out.
The v-e-t said that this fall and winter are very bad for allergy sufferers because the normal dying time of some weeds and grasses has not occurred because of the weather in North Texas, and that the mountain cedar dust came along as normal and compounded the allergens already in the air. So many animals and people have been experiencing profound allergy problems.
Duh. No wonder Maw's nose is running.
Anyway, so G.T. is now getting shots twice a month to see if he improves. Also, he received a steroid shot to stop his feet from bothering him so that they will heal quickly and hopefully, all will be normal. Then next winter, perhaps we can go back to monthly shots.
Bless his little heart.

Aw, GT...we hope those shots help even though we don't think getting shots is furry much fun...
Ernie has allergies too...but his hasn't been real bad so far...
Oh no, we are sorry to hear about the allergies. We hope the steroid shots help.
Poor GT. I hate shots. I hope you do better now that you have them!
Poor GT, shots are bad but they've got to be better than allergies. We hope they make you feel better.
Oh GT, I am sorry that you have allergies that are bothering you. And getting shots is No Fun!

Poor G.T., that can't be any fun at all. I hope the shots help him right away!
We hope those shots help G.T. very quickly - usually Ninna responds in just a couple of days.

Gee Whiz! I'm so sorry to hear that GT is havin' problems with allergies. But I'm glad the v-e-t had an idea of what might help.
Poor GT I hate shots yet I hope they make you feel better>
I hope the increase in shots, and the steroid shot, helps GT to feel better soon.
Don't you just hate allergies!
Does your Maw ever use the Benadryl spray on your feeties (assuming they're itchy)? My ears get furry itchy sometimes and she sprays it on my ears-it seems to help!
Just a thought!

Drat that mt. cedar dust! Feel better GT!
Pierro has skin allergies too, his were laying low for quite a while and just flaired up this past week. I hope GT feels better soon.
purrrs
We hope G.T's feets feel better soon!!!!
And I pass an award to you!
Murphy, the little dog I used to have had to take meds every Fall for allergies. Without the meds he would just about chew his own skin off. Thankfully Fred the Cat and my new little dog appear to be allergy free.
Get well soon, a cat needs his feet. FAZ
Oh poor GT. This stinks. Bendrix and I will purr and purr that the shots work and he feels all better soon. purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs
We gave you all an award. I hope that makes GT feel better!
Mreeooow..shots! Ick. I hope they make you feel better if you gotta get 'em.
I have two floofy friends in Frisco ..maybe that's close to you. They are Sparky and Zoe.
Visit me soon on th' blog.
We hope you get feeling better fast. Allergies are no fun at all.

Allergies are no good. We hope GT is feeling lots better soon and doesn't have to get shots for much longer.
Love,
Tazo
PS- Mama agrees with Maw in that hanging out with lots of aminals is way better than hanging out with lots of people at work. hee hee
It is bad enough that the beans get allergy's, but to have our pets suffer, hope the shots work.
I hope G.T.'s allergies are better now. Texas does have a lot of things to make allergies!

You live in North Texas? We're neighbors! The people at my house have had some bad allergy times, too, So, I'm sure purrin' for poor G.T.
