My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Why Why did I do it?? I knew better!! For a couple of yrs now, thank goodness...Bella was in the clear with no itching, biting, scratching. It seemed wonderful. She has been on Wellness, Solid Gold, & Blue Buffalo which seemed to do the trick. Well, I recently changed her food because she becomes so picky & I bought Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier 28. She was back into the old routine of itching, biting, scratching. I'm so mad at myself for changing. Poor baby. Anyway, NEVER AGAIN. My question is: How long does it take to get completely out of her system?? I'm giving her Benadryl which helps. She's been off the food for about a 10 days.

| Antihistamines don't work well in a lot of dogs. And they really don't work well for food allergies. So I'm surprised they are really helping. Are you sure there isn't an environmental allergy and the food just pushed her over the threshold? Could take days, but up to 12 weeks.. What is she allergic to? Lots of Yorkies get itchy from RC. My girl did. Great brand, but unless they have a hydrolyzed formula, there are probably better choices for dogs that are already itchy.

| The vet should decide if steroids (injectable and/or oral) are appropriate right now based on quality of life. When my girl gets to her itching and scratching, it is so bad that she usually has to have steroids. However, long-term if this is thought to be environmental, there are better options.

| My fur-niece, Gemma is an allergic dog. She was put on Benadryl and we bathed her every few days with medicated shampoo, which helped a little. It unfortunately lasted weeks. My girls have done well on TOTW, Wellness, Now... to name a few brands, but the best has been home cooked. No eye boogers, no itching, and they smell good! If you'd like the ingredients, PM me |
