She mostly scratches her face, ears, and her sides. She even rubs herself against the wall to scratch her sides. I'm always looking for fleas, so I see her skin alot and it looks nice and pink under her coat, nothing unusual like scabs or dry skin. The nurse said to give her Benadryl until Monday, so that's what we're doing. It seemed to have helped last night, so I'll just have to give it to her a few times a day.
zyrtec actually works better for dogs than benedryl

If you are not going to do hyposensitization shots the allergy testing really is a waste of money

If your dog has allergies I would definitely be dealing with a dermatologist as it is a life long thing and very frustrating and you want to be dealing with the best to handle the situation and keep your baby comfortable.
