wait, human benadryl? My Joey chews on his back legs, like, the "thigh" area...I think it's a nervous habit, but I would be curious to try this to see if it were an allergy. Joey does have pretty severe separation anxiety. Last time I had my boys at the vet, she said that it could just be dry skin, and that I could use a special shampoo. I end up having to use some bitter spray on his legs ALL the time, and I would love to find a solution to the problem instead of treating the symptoms, you know? I'm gonna keep up on this, see if I can find some solutions for myself too!
