Dr. Goodpet - Scratch Free[/QUOTE

No I haven't , do you use it?? I would would honestly try anything at this point. Trixie has lost a lot of hair on her back legs and her back. It seems when I think we're getting somewhere the cycle begins again. I sound like a broken record on here but it has consumed me. I just want to help her and hopefully we will find it. I will keep everyone informed. I know you are all trying so hard as well.

I've started finding clumps of hair when Johnny moves on after scratching himself and am seriously doubting that I am doing anything right for this little guy.
He's so sweet and lovable and full of blotches.
Nothing I'm doing seems to work and I feel helpless.
Can Tuesday's vet appt get here fast enough?

Yesterday was our holisitc vet visit. She explained her philosophy and thought his itching and scratching wasn't from food allergies but airborne. I also thought that his allergies couldn't be from food if he was eating a limited ingredient diet already! She prescribed hydroxyzine, an antihistimine without side effects, and a immunity support support supplement. He gets it mixed with peanut butter. YUMMY!!!
So, there's no miraculous over-night change-no problem with that-but I'm feeling like we're going in the right direction.

Good Luck cobird2!!!

I hope it works out well but if it's airborne it may be a temporary fix. We have tried SOOO many things and with each vet I was hopeful for a cure and here we are almost 5 months later still itchy..

The one good thing is at least( no food allergies) he can have special treats to make him happy during his miserable time..
I wish you both luck and I hope there will be one less itchy do on yorkietalk

chester has itchy issues as well something in the air I think, I use grizzly salmon oil on his wet food, I use solid gold dry and addiction wet food, solid gold has no corn wheat or soy. I have used buddy boo boo for when he has the itches unless it is really back, buddy boo boo is from cloud star natural stuff in it works pretty good.

I also use all soap with no dyes or perfumes in it, just in case that could be it.
