| Allergic to Shampoo??? I have a 14 week old yorkie. I just bathed him with a hypoallergenic shampoo and now he has red spots under both ears and red around his snout. He is rubbing his ears and nose with his paws and acts like it is bothering him. I called a vet (not his because its after hours) and they said to rinse him really well with warm water and call the emergency vet if it worsens. Does this sound like an allergy to the shampoo that can be treated with Benadryll? Or should I take him to the vet?? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks |

| benedryl will work but what hypoallergenic shampoo did you use as i have an allergy dog wash with cool water not warm as warm will open pores and allow soap to get in pores |

| I usually bathe pups with Bio Groom Fluffy Puppy (a soapless, tearless shampoo) until approximately 8 months of age.
