10 year old GSD puppy girl saw the vet today. Super healthy. No spine problems. No problems at all, really. Got her back on flea, tick, and heartworm meds as well as the apoquel. She does have allergies and gets itchy. I expect she'll be around for several more years. Unusual for a big dog. :)
@TheJen amazing and good on y’all. I have a home made hotspot remedy if she ever gets those. Costs about 30¢ to make a months worth. The hot spots go away in a few days, the discomfort goes away immediately and eventually, the hotspots never come back. Neighbors used it on her old dog for 2 summers… doesn’t need it anymore and that pup is forever annoying but healthy
@Catawu @TheJen I would love if you could send that my way. Our Garth (10 yo Newfie) gets them. We've got him on apoquel and zyrtec and that helps a bit but hasn't solve the issue
