NOT ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE
my friends boxer, Pixie, is having allergy problems. She's been to the vet twice, she's on prednisone and it helps her stop itching but that's it. she's gotten her shampoo, switched her dog food. the vet wanted $450 to do a blood test and she can't afford to keep going back and forth to the vet. she's going to start working full time and she can't keep her anymore and now, she has a cyst or something on her hind leg. she might have a home with her friend already, but she wants to get her 100% and figure out what's wrong with her first. i'll post pictures of Pixie to show what her skin/hair looks like. it's starting to come back but then it gets bad again. last picture is of the food they switched her to. before, she was eating science diet.
SO my question is, does anyone know of a vet that's cheaper or does payments to get blood work/test done to find out exactly what she's allergic to? she went to agua fria and they wanted everything paid right then and there.
