Yes the temaril-p also has an antihistimine in it and we've tried another as well. Thanks though.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524000425567342719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436604737769148117.post-54476324208670985462011-03-17T19:03:53.396-04:002011-03-17T19:03:53.396-04:00Oh the poor dear.

Can you have her allergy tested to see if you can narrow down exactly what she is allergic to? <br /><br />Hmm, they must have allergy meds for dogs besides giving them Benadryl. In the meantime, does it help if you do a little doggy massage for her? Our Jess used to deal a bit easier with it if I did really gentle smooth strokes over her itchy parts, at least for a few minutes or even a couple hours. <br /><br />Good luck with finding something that works, because there's gotta be SOMEthing that helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109483892572387934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436604737769148117.post-61193463148917876752011-03-17T18:33:23.160-04:002011-03-17T18:33:23.160-04:00Thanks for the tips.

I have also tried a grain free kibble (several different kinds) as well as the fish oil. <br /><br />I appreciate your time and suggestions though. :-)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524000425567342719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436604737769148117.post-31874354327631473222011-03-16T19:55:00.092-04:002011-03-16T19:55:00.092-04:00I had a dog who had similar issues, and switching ...I had a dog who had similar issues, and switching to raw feeding really REALLY helped clear her up. Is that something you've considered? Grapeseed extract can help skin, and perhaps adding some fish oil to their diet as well. I myself have psoriasis, so I have total sympathy for what the itching feels like and how tough it is to deal with. <br /><br />Some other foods that I've seen excellent reviews on are: Orijen (http://www.orijen.ca/orijen/about/), Taste of the Wild (http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/), Wellness (http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/index.aspx), Blue Buffalo (http://www.bluebuffalo.com/), Canidae (http://www.canidae.com/), and Natural Balance (http://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/). I personally have not fed any of these, since my dogs are all raw-fed, but people I trust have said good things about each one. <br /><br />Best of luck in resolving the allergy issue, as it really does suck to itch like that, and it's SO hard to watch our best friends in misery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109483892572387934noreply@blogger.com
