ITCHING, need help

[jill]

Loki is allergic to SIXTY things! She sees her Derm, we do shots, I give Zyrtec at day time, and Benedryl @ night! We bathe every other week w Selsun. Am I missing anything?

Seems like Summer instead of Spring is the worst...

Any thoughts are appreciated

My bichon had the same issue's. The only thing that helped her is when I went raw. She never chewed herself again. The shots did nothing for her and another newf I had years ago. The zyrtec does wonders for my Merlin and Shannon.

Blast her fur when she comes in after a walk,

Also natural,local honey helps

You might try trimming her hair down to about an inch. It sure is helping Moonlight.

Our Lucy went through a lot of that same thing, years ago. Summers were the worst for her. It helped when we found a food that agreed with her (She could tolerate Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish). I also washed her often, with this chlorhexiderm shampoo

Same, here. I dealt with itching/scratching/skin infections for 5 years with my male Newf and within 1 month of switching to raw, they have never resurfaced.

Riggs has allergies that start about May ish. And Bojie also is getting them for the first time. To save money, buy a gallon bottle of Chlorhexadine and mix it yourself into your normal shampoo. Leave it on for 10min during bathing, then dry completely. It really helps.
