"We feed him the best food possible, got him flea free, gave him baths twice a week, special baths from the vet," she said.
Little by little, Adam started looking better but not progressing as well as Herman had hoped.
"We still couldn't figure out what was wrong, so we took him in for a blood test," she said.
The test revealed he had allergies but the source was something Herman couldn't believe.
"Humans? I thought (the veterinarian) was kidding", she said. "Just like we can be allergic to dogs, he's allergic to human dander," Herman said. While many people may have written Adam off, Herman said she still just sees a puppy in need of help. "He's smart, he learns, knows a bunch of commands, he's a great dog.
"It's not his fault. We raised as much money as we can and we're not
going to stop until he's better," she said.
Thanks to the diagnosis, that day may be coming soon. Herman has high
hopes for the next treatment.
"The vet seems to think we can fix him. They put a serum together just
like with kids allergies, and he starts on allergy shots this week,"
Herman said.
