Wylies Mom: She doesn't itch her ears. They are clean and everything. I feed her Natural Balance, she has been on this like 3 weeks or so but I'm still mixing it with her old food, too, for a slow transition. But I haven't increased the new food and decreased the old as I did it too early and the old bag isn't about finished yet.
EllieMay: I don't know about Advantage. I know Frontline doesn't, many people have said the fleas are basically immune to it here.
Is there any way I personally could find out if it is mites? It's still about a week or so until I can get her to a vet so anything I can do myself UNTIL then would be good.
She didn't itch yesterday or last night, and not most of today although a few minutes ago I caught her doing it again. Her back end had scabbed over from the plasma leaking from her licking/itching it so I thought maybe that would be a good sign that she's not itching it anymore. But then she did it again for a few minutes but I made her stop.
Should I give her the benadryl anyway? Is it ok if there is flavors and dye-free? The store didn't have flavor-less of any kind for childrens benadryl liquid.
She seems alert and happy and playful but at the same time just seems tireder than normal. But maybe that's just because I've been in my room a lot today doing various things. |
