Itching Hi everyone, I have a 10 month old puppy and she itches so much around her nose that she lets out a cry when shes scratching, it just breaks my heart to see her hurting like that. I have switched her to lamb and rice food which seems to help. My question is, I have been putting Cortaid on the top of her mouth around her nose area twice a day and its almost stopped her itching completely. Does anyone know if this is going to hurt her in the long run? I don't want to put her on steroids that the doctor gave me because shes a toy and is not going to get any heavier than she currently is (3 lbs.) and he said it could really damage her little organs in the long term. I appreciate any help. Thank you! Orlynn |
I am bumping your thread so you can hopefully get some answers!! :D :D |
This site was recommended to me when I first joined YT. Hopefully it will help you as I think Cortaid and hydrocortisone are related. http://www.walkervalleyvet.com/otc-meds.htm |

Have you had a skin scraping done to check for mange. This often shows up around the nose first. Home remedies are ok but he should be checked out by a vet as it could be something other than allergies |
Yes, shes been checked for mange 3 times, every time I take her to a different vet for her allergies they insist on scraping her and they can never get a good sample the first time, so she really ends up hurting when we go. |
Thank you everyone for all of your help!!!!! I just read that giving Tabitha cortizone topically 2 times a day is fine!!!! :0) |
So you changed her food... What about the type of bowl she eats out of.....could she be allergic to that??? Also....does she sleep on a blanket that make have wool in it... just think of something that she sniffs.....like rugs.....or pillow, bed...etc.... |
