Buddy started scatching a lot two weeks ago and has now gone on to chewing his feet obsessively. His left eye is watery and kind of red and swollen around the eyelid. I have been giving him children's benadryl, 1/2 teaspoon twice a day.{Vet's recommendation} I also bought some anti itch shampoo and a spray that I have used on him . I don't think anything is really helping too much. He seems a little better right after he gets the benadryl, but it soon wears off and he is scratching and chewing again. He has taken to hiding from me so I can't see him chew his feet and tell him to stop. I do have an appointment with the vet next Tuesday, but until then can anyone help with some other ideas?
