However, she is more ichy on less meds. Today she doesn't get a pill but she will tomorrow, and she is scratching like mad. We actually shaved her body yesterday and gaver her a Schnauzer haircut, and you can see the hot spots on her shoulder and back where she scratches the most. I called the vet today and asked if I can put a cream on her, and the nurse said a Benadryl cream or a Cortizone cream. We put a shirt on her today to stop herself from scratching and that worked well, but we took it off when it got too hot and all she did was scratch herself. It's a good thing we shaved her, because it looks like we will have to keep a lot of shirts on her this summer to stop herself from scratching so much. Poor thing  |
shaving was not good ;( if you shave them it makes them more itchy - best to keep hair long as it protects their skin . It is like a protective layer of the skin.
Cortisone thins the skin. Use the coconut oil nutiva it is a natural antifungal and antibacterial as it was the only thing that helped dd heal quickly after using neosporine and hydrocortisone creams that made her worse. Keep a shirt on her to protect her skin so she does not bloody herself
