Allergies?
Posted 05-04-2008 at 11:11 AM by Buddha68
Gretel is 14 mo old and this Spring she has begun to constantly snort and chew on her hind legs. Her eyes also seem to be tearing more too. Her shampoo and everything is the same. She absollutely does not have fleas. She is very clean and well cared for.
She was scratching and chewing so badly she has tore off the hair on her hind leg. I am baffled. I looked up and found that I could give her 1/2 mg of benadryl. this helped temporarily. What does anyone recommend for allergies? She just seems miserable and her constant movement is driving me crazy!!! She is a snuggler but lately a spazz. is there any recommendations on how i can treat her instead of spending more money on a vet appt for something i can do myself?

 |  I read somewhere that your vet can give her a shot to help with allergies, just like humans get. Maybe something to look into. |
