I give her children's benedyl daily, as she needs to stop and let the skin heal.

I also give her 1/4 teaspoon of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of Lilly of the Valley Oral Aloe Vera Gel in her PM meals.

We have hardwood and tile and I vacuum every week.

I must say she has gotten better, but not 100% - allergies suck
I want a house with hardwood and tile floors so bad. We live in a rental right now so we can't do anything about the carpet, we're hopefully going to start looking at houses before long though!

I took her to the vet today to have her nails trimmed. I think I'm going to switch to them, they're sooo great! Anyway, the vet just said to give her Children's Benadryl (I forget how much he said), I'll call tomorrow though and ask again. He said if it doesn't stop with the Benadryl to bring her back in and we'll try something else. I should have asked him if maybe her shampoo is too strong but I forgot. If it isn't one thing it's another.

Thanks guys!
