Poor dog-poor me My poor dog is still itchy-hydrolized protein food, just weaning off a course of prednisone, baths with Ketachlor shampoo, thyroid medication for 2 weeks and still so itchy--up most of the night with her. Have tried Zyrtec and Benedryl, and lots of patience, all to no avail. The only days she scratches less are those with the 1/4 Prednisone. I will be calling her vet in the morning.
It's so weird-she isn't losing hair, but scratches her belly and armpit area so much! Fortunately, she hasn't broken the skin again. And I really think her belly skin feels warm but it doesn't look red.
I feel like our vet is doing everything we can, but we can't nail it down. Allergy testing may be in the offing.
Any suggestions? |
