We provide advice only on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. For any treatment for your dog, you need to go to your local vets. Steroids are the most commonly used medications for severe skin allergies so I assume your dog gets steroids injection. This medication is provided only by the vets, so you would need to see your local veterinarian if Princess has another skin problems.
