Something has Susanah all itchy :( My poor baby. I checked her fleas - she has none. I used the same shampoo and conditioner when I bathed her. The only thing that has been different is her food. After a few successful months on Canidae she decided she didn't like it anymore so we've been trying to find something she DOES like. Do you think it would hurt if I gave her an oatmeal bath? Is there something else I can do to help her itchies? Would a tiny bit of benedryl help? I feel so bad. She is running and rubbing her face against the furniture, then she will stop and scratch. She will play for a few minutes then stop and scratch. I think she has scratched more today than she has in her entire life combined. :( |
you can try the oatmeal bath. it won't hurt. and you can give her benedryl too but i'm not sure how much. perhaps she has a food allergy. maybe you should try switching her to something with a rare protein in it like duck, rabbit, venison, or buffalo. |
I think its a food allergy too. She ate some Eukanuba at my mom's and that had to be what caused it. She never itched before she ate that. :( I let her eat some because she was gobbling it down like she was starving. She won't get into that again. Poor itchy little Poopanut. I'm going to give her an oatmeal bath and I know there is a post somewhere on here about how much benedryl to give. I feel so bad. I was just glad to see her eat something so happily. Just goes to prove that just because our babies really like something, it doesn't mean its good for them. |
It sounds like a food allergy. Have you experimented with a food that has corn, wheat or soy in it? Ellie gets very itchy when she eats corn. By the way, her vet says to see if it is corn, we will have to wait sixty days for the new food to kick in and the old to leave, so she could be itchy for that long.:( Definately try the oatmeal bath. |
I'm sure it's a food allergy. I was just talking to my vet about Iams food and she said that a lot of animals are becoming allergic to it because of a new ingredient they use. Eukanuba is made be Iams or the other way around. She said they will become very itchy with no redness of sores, just itchy. |
You can give her a little benadryl to help with the itching. It probably is the changing of foods making her itch. |
