My 3 year old Cocker is beginning to show symptoms of PIE. She had a serious attack around the same time last year and was treated with a tracheal wash and prednisone. She reacted poorly to the prednisone. She gained weight, was aggressive and territorial which she never is, and frequently would not interact with the family. In short she became the dog from hell. Are there other treatment options besides prednisone ?  I hate the thought of our sweet, loving companion turning into "Cujo" again.
