I had to put a cone on her to keep her from digging at her skin. It has been a week today and she is finally not scratching. The vet also gave us a stronger antihistamine as Benadryl wasn't fazing it. I would watch her and make sure she isn't damaging her skin and coat. I feel for you and for Betty Boop and I hope she feels better soon.

Last year, the vet gave me something for itching when she was a puppy, but I can't find it now! I just had it yesterday and can't find it today!! He said it wouldn't cause the drowsiness that Benadryl causes.

How much Benadryl is safe for a 5 pound dog tonight????

I hope your baby continues to do well. It hurts so much to see them so miserable. Boop's hair is doing OK for now, but her skin is a little red.
