I was just curious if this is a normal issue. our lab has allergys so she gets red splotches on her belly so she takes benadryl as the vet told us to give her so im reallly kind of just wondering if it couldnot be allergys too. And also gizmo wouldnt eat his food today is it normal for them to skip a meal sometimes? But hed eat a treat so i broke up a treat and put it in his food and he ate some of his food that way but ill be watching him today to make sure hes alright. | Yeah, I think bug bites are normal.... Riley has gotten a couple of bumps on his belly and I have rubbed Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil on them to clear them up......
He does have some environmental allergies and the vet said I could give him 1/2 a Benadryl, twice a day... He is about 8 pounds.
I haven't had to give him any in a while.
Not sure about the not eating. Riley doesn't have a problem eating. I feed him Primal raw in the mornings and kibble at night....although lately I have been doing the Primal raw morning and night. |
