| Flea bite allergy-Scratching! Help! Now that I've gotten rid of Betty Boop's fleas, she is broken out all over, very red and some bumps. She is scratching 24/7. Would Benadryl be the answer? I really hate to make her sleep, though. How can I soothe her skin and stop her itching?

If you haven't put a flea preventative on her yet, she is probably still getting bitten. Fleas only spend 1/4 of their life on the animal. The rest of the time they are in your carpet, etc. You planned on getting Advantage from your vet today, right? I'd call first and see what he recommends for flea bite allergies in case there is something you can pick up. | |

| Can you use cortizone cream? We have horrible mosquitos here and that's what I use to stop the itch. I get the generic kind with aloe and vitamin e. I've also heard that rubbing alcohol will stop the itch but it really stinks. |
