My dog has very bad allergies to where she constantly is licking her feet, scratching, etc. I have been to the vet, she has been given a couple cortisone shots, is taking a antihistamine (sometimes three time a day), I have tried the spray the vet suggested. I sometimes give her a sys(sp) bath, dipping her paws in cool soapy water (I use the soap the vet has given me). I like my vet but am wondering why there are not more things out there, in order to confort her. Can you suggest anything (home remedies, etc), that I might try. I am trying to stay away from allergy shots, because I know they are expensive. Can you help me with any suggestions? Thank you. IP: Logged |

My dog suffered from allergies for 4 years and we tried every kind of treatment available and when i changed his diet the scratching and chewing dissapeared magically. IP: Logged |

Thank you, I will get the hair shaved down by the paws, because she has a lot of hair there and I will try the salt water dips for her feet. I appreciate all the suggestions I can get. Something has to help her a little. Thank you again. IP: Logged |

I would maybe try changing the pups food My Rottweiler had a bad skin problem (hot spots) constantly. I changed from a chicken based food to a lamb and rice based food and she hasn't had a new hot spot since IP: Logged |
