Benadryl does help some, so I hope that means that it's not mange, because I don't think that it would help in that case. LOL I'm going to drive myself insane with all the "what ifs" until we get into the vet. Their skin doesn't really show all the mange symptoms, but it is reddish. This seems to come and go. It's also weird that both of them would be allergic to the fleas and the pollen, which is why I fear that it's mange Thanks for sharing Chachi's story with me
It sounds more like flea allergies to me so Ill be crossing my fingers for you. When chachi had mites it was pretty bad with raw spots and hair missing and stuff
