What can I do for my boston terrier with allergies?

I have a 2 yr old boston terrier with pink itchy skin. He has been blood and skin tested for allergies. he is currently on cyclosporine and has been on prednisone, etc in the past. He has been checked for parasites, has been on a allergen free diet, but nothing works. Any ideas? Possibly not allergies?

wow that sounds like my little dog....here's what worked for me....ask your vet if it's OK for you to try it too. I give my dog 1/2 teaspoon of fresh garlic in his food every day...in about 2 weeks he was 3/4 better....hope it works for you too.

Reply:Is this a new onset problem? I had a yellow lab, who was allergic to our grass, and would get a nasty rash on his abdomen. Our veterinarian finally put him on an antihistamine called hydroxyzine , after trying plain old over the counter benadryl. That worked. The ironic thing was that it was also my allergy medication. Topical hydrocortisone can also be used, but keeping them from licking it off it a pain, I used to put one of my hubby's T-shirts on him after I applied it. The other name for hydroxyzine is Vistaril. Good Luck
Reply:I have a Rat Terrier that we went through the exact same thing with. You don't want to keep giving the steroid shots because it can cause damage to their organs and take over their immune system. You said that you've done skin allergy tests. What you need to do now is have a blood test done for allergies. This blood test is about $300. and is done to a specific area (where you live) and tests for all types of foods in addition to local plants, weeds, etc... that are in your area. It gives a print-out of everything that the dog is allergic to and ranks them in order of how allergic it is to each thing. If there are only a few things that it's mainly allergic to, you may be able to remove them or keep your dog from those things. If they are things that you can't keep the dog from, then you can get these shots that actually contain the allergins themselves that overpower the dogs immune system and makes him not react anymore, but you have to continue giving these shots. That's what I'm doing now and it's working great. This is the only thing that's worked. (You could also try Benedryl for now to see if that helps a bit).
Reply:You mentioned only that he had been tested for allergies. Did he go through desensitization(requires injections)?The only other treatments are antigen avoidance, benadryl, and hydrocortisone(bad). Try Calomine, Aveeno, Aloe Vera lotions and castor oil(you read right).
