Allergies and Atopica in pug dog;

Question
Hello, My one pug has had severe allergies for years now.  I have tried
everything from creams, sprays, bathing (seems to make it worse),
steroids (worked but gave him seizures), switched his food and
nothing.  And he is on soloxine which they said would help his skin,
but didn't.  He has had allergy testing and is literally allergic to
everything!  I am at the point I guess where I don't know what else to
do.  I try to keep socks on his feet at all times, which is the only thing
that at least protects his skin when he does scratch.
Any thing you might recommend I try that I haven't yet?
I heard about atopica but it is just so expensive, with 8 animals I try
to be as money wise as I can.  He has already been to the vet around
8 times this year, and I think that might be the only solution.

Answer
Can you give me more info?  I would love to help.

Hi, POOR you and poor little pug.  The Atopica drug is very expensive and does take 1-2 months to see results.  You can always try it and see....???
Ok, what food is this baby eating?  Brand and Flavor?
Treats?
What supplements or medications is your pug currently taking?

I would love to help.  Just get back to me ASAP.
