She does not have fleas nor any other mites that I can see nor is her skin broken open anywhere. Is there something I can use on Ginger to help alleviate this need to scratch? |
Does she have any areas at all of red patchiness or anything? If you think it's allergies, then this thread may be helpful:

She's not saying it's 'unsafe', she's saying it's not usually effective with dog allergies. And to stay effective, it must be given every 4-6 hrs bc it has such a short half life.
