We are going to try Benadryl per her vet's advice, but if that doesn't work I can't keep the poor thing in anE cone until we can get her an allergy test.

1. Why can't you? 2. How long will she need to wear it?

What part of her body is being affected by the allergies?

Check with your vet on Genesis Topical Spray for times it's flared up bad and Douxo Micro-emulsion spray for management after you get it under control.

Allergies or insects? Or, allergic to insects? Diatomaceous Earth, Adams+ with Infest Stop and AIL (Avian Insect Liquidator) are all safe and effective measures for any insect and most other arthropods. ONLY use food grade DE, found at any farm or animal supply store, swimming pool grade is dangerous to animals and humans.

Well I got bitter apple once and he didn't want it used on her, because we aren't sure why she's itchy and that could exacerbate her itching. How long? Until we can get her allergy tested. And what evers wrong under control. quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven 1. Why can't you? 2. How long will she need to wear it?

I'm seriously thinking maybe dog jammies are a good idea, so she can't lick herself raw at night , and a sweet lady on the rescue has offered to meet me at Ben's bark avenue bistro to help pick out a good quality food, and I have the number of a food allergist testing dr.

Why don't you ask the advice of the vet with regards to those sprays instead of asking us. S/he is more likely to know what's safe.

if it might be a part of the equation, there is also low allergenic dog (am assuming we're talking about a dog) food.

Given how expensive pet food is, why don't you hold off until you know that 1) it's a food allergy and 2) what exactly your dog is allergic too. Otherwise you may be buying it for nothing.

Yes, I'm thinking that too. Cuz it may not even be food related. quote: ORIGINAL: LiveSpark quote: ORIGINAL: LittleGirlHeart I'm seriously thinking maybe dog jammies are a good idea, so she can't lick herself raw at night , and a sweet lady on the rescue has offered to meet me at Ben's bark avenue bistro to help pick out a good quality food, and I have the number of a food allergist testing dr.

Exactly. Anyway good luck, I hope it doesn't take long to get this sorted out.

Has she had skin scrapings done? Has she been wormed and de-flea with a veterinary prescription product? Has she what appears to be dandruff when you rub her coat? Has she got a rash? What are you feeding her? Could she be stressed about anything? Is she losing any hair? Pyjamas will stop her being able to lick herself but its not a long term solution as your dog is clearly suffering.

quote: ORIGINAL: LittleGirlHeart Yes, I'm thinking that too. Cuz it may not even be food related. quote: ORIGINAL: LiveSpark But, it, almost invariably, is food-related, if you are feeding your dog anything corn/wheat/barley/rye based. Even if that's not the only reason your pet has itchy skin, it can't hurt to get him?/her? on a nearer-to-natural diet. Except for holistic veterinarians, most vets sell garbage like I@ms, H!ll's, Royal C@n!n, etc. All the junk they sell at their offices are corn and by-product based. Corn has a very high glycemic index and has been connected with diabetes, skin disease, and kidney failure, to name a few ailments. Those meat by-products are either treated, rotten inedibles, undigestible parts and/or from "downer" cows/pigs/sheep ("It's mad cow for supper, tonight, Fluffy."). Stuff you wouldn't feed to an enemy. They will do their best to convince you that it's all "scientifically based" nutrition. But, they come from the "a calorie is a calorie, is a calorie" school of nutrition. Now, everyone knows that two oreo cookies does not a Granny Smith apple make. So, why do we allow Pukeina, H!lls and all the other junk food pushers convince us that their food is quality nutrition for our pets? There are numerous entries to "healthy pet food alternative recipes," online. If you have the time and energy to make fresh food for your dog, type in a search on your favorite search engine. Otherwise, look for the diet made with nutrition your dog would get, if it were a wolf. Wolves don't eat grains, for starters. I confess, I feed my pets a semi-quality kibble made with chicken and rice - no by-products and none of the bad four (listed above). It's not the best nutrition, but it's better than the previously named makers offer. And, when I can find it, they get fresh game, especially bunny. (Sorry, house rabbit guardians) Good luck, OP, whatever the diagnosis. I hope my very long post is of use to you. QR

Now it looks like I'm giving info and advice I wouldn't and couldn't because I have no clue when it comes to such things.

No, they said they had a blood test they could do for 300, and a test for 150, but the 300$ one was more effective. She's on trifexsis, I assume they've done worming stuff, she's never had worms tho in the 3 years I had her. Nope, no dander, or flakes, or rashes, Nope, no hair loss, no stress. The pjs are just for her own protection until we figure out why and what's going on. She gets A brand called premium choice lamb veggatables an rice, with glucosamine and Chondroitin. quote: ORIGINAL: MariaB Has she had skin scrapings done?
