Unflavored Children's Benadryll 1 ml per pound of body weight. You can use the tablet form, but it will be harder because I think the lowest dose is 25 mg. We gave this to our Basenji mix during the summer. But your vet can prescribe a short regimen of steroids that may help. I also requested a numbing spray from them to help the area.
I wouldn't use a flea shampoo as these tend to strip the skin of natural oils and dry it out. That might make her itch more. Try the Benadryll and see how she does. Flea Bite Dermatitis will be apparent if she has been bitten. The bite sight will swell up and be enflamed. There are some flea meds that are a pill form and are just as strong as Advantix/Frontline.
I'm sorry this is happening, I definitely know how frustration itchy skin problems can be with our dogs! |
