When you used the Revolution, did you repeat the dose in 2-3 weeks? Did you see any improvement at all for a few days?
Do you use any plug in air freshners? Have new carpeting?
Does he itch in all parts of the house and outside... or is it worse in a particular room or outside?
Are you feeding him out of plastic food and water dishes?
Are you using oatmeal based shampoo on him? Do you use a conditioner? |
Revolution had 3 doses - did the first and wrote down each administration; hence we did each of the 3 doses with 14 days to the dot between doses... 0 change.
He doesn't go outside. As I said, he was the "itchy one" of the pups when I was at the breeders house but papers stated he was healthy. Itching continued through treatments at my parents house (where we lived until moving an hour upstate to an apartment 4 weeks later - but continued to drive down back 1x a week to see the vet). We moved to a new apartment - he still itches....
...in every room...
As I stated above - we went as far as to try 3 different types of bowls and 3 different foods (eukanuba puppy hard, caesar puppy wet food, and in the beginning mighty dog until I read about the ingredients) - the bowls were 2 and one ceramic....
no air fresheners (we have asthma) - no perfume on me or my husband - and we've changed our sheets as well as are on a new bed now that we've moved and no change - also changed deodorant...
I've also tried oatmeal based lavender puppy wipes for sensitive skin, and tea-tree skin calm for dogs spray for itchy skin...no dice...
He doesn't itch to the point of pulling hair (like when itching his paws) - but still...
OH and they have us dosing his ears daily with ZYMOX OTIV 1.02OZ W/HYDROCOTISONE for apx 2 months...
