We have a 4 year old JRT. Around a year ago he started scratching a lot and has very sore skin on his tummy.
Vets view was that it wasn't worth doing any tests to find out the cause as most likely it would be something like grass which was unavoidable and that the treatment would be the same anyway.
So he has been having a monthly injection to stop the itching at a cost of approximately £80 a month which we have claimed back from insurance (subject to excess).
Today we have received insurance renewal information and the cost has doubled , which we believe is due to our claims over past year. If we were to look to another provider it would preclude existing conditions.
We are therefore looking into alternative solutions eg diet, a cream we could buy from pet store etc
Does anyone have any experience or advice for us?
