Hi, Ginger is 13# and I give her 1/2 benedryl 2 x's a day. Check the amount your giving. (I'll try to find a link for the dosage).
Also, I've found Aveeno oatmeal baths are very soothing to her and seem to calm any inflammation. (for a short period of time)
Not so much fun, but helpful: Daily vacuuming (if allergies are environmental), wiping paws everytime your dog comes inside (I use baby wipes), more vacuuming...
If food allergies are suspected switching foods could help (although, if you don't know the cause of the allergy, this has to be done carefully...you won't see a difference for 6 to 8 weeks or more) It took us ages to find a food Ginger doesn't react to. |
