I will keep you posted. The vet said if no improvement will start cortisone shots in week or so, I really hope this isn't the case, I do wonder though how long these little ones can stay on benedryl, anyone out there have their little ones on benedryl long term? How are they faring on it?
It is quite possible that it is the Frontline. I've heard of some that had problems with it on the smaller dogs. I would suggest switching to Advantage and see if solves the problem. If you have a collar on him, it may even be the collar.
