This is not a new problem, it seems to come and go and I have posted similar things before. I have made several trips to the vet when it gets bad, he gives her Temeril P and off we go. Usually that seems to help for awhile.

I guess I would rather know what is causing it. Its mostly her bottom and her feet and legs that bother her, especially her back end. I use Frontline Plus, just treated she and the other 2, 3 wks ago, plus have combed her endlessly looking for fleas and only found one on her, one time, the day I treated her.

Do we really know much about dogs allergies? It seems like if thats what this is it has gotten worse since I went back to home feeding, probably the rice is the culprit as I usually only feed them meat, (most times chicken), rice and vegies with a supplement in it. Ive posted before about trying so many different kinds of high quality dog foods (all the ones mentioned here) and wasting so much money because my dogs wouldnt eat them. Ive gone back and forth a couple of times with home feeding because of this issue. It sure would be easier for me to feed them dog food, so if that would lessen the allergy issue, I guess I will try it again.

I have some Temeril P left so rather than going to the vet and getting no help Im just using it myself. I hate to give it to her though as Im sure it has nasty side effects.
Can I use the dog hydrocortisone sprays that are on the market? Will that hurt her is he licks it, which she will? Can she use that stuff plus the Temeril?
I feel bad for her and me as she is keeping me up at night scratching.
