I've been bathing Duke once a week with some shampoo made for dry skin. But, he's still itching like crazy and I can't feed him the fish or anything similar all the time because of that pancreaitis that he had. If I don't bathe him often, he feels all dirty and is still itching. I've just started giving him Benadryl but it makes him so sleepy that I just give it to him at night. Anyone have any suggestions?
Cincy is also a very itchy dog. We give her Benadryl at night (2 25mg tablets, vet said we could go up to 3, 2X a day). She also gets 3V vitamins and Biotin on her food (I don't know if you could give Duke either of those with his health). We also bathe her with an oatmeal andbaking soda dog shampoo. It all does help her, although the winters up here are so dry she itches now anyway. The only next step I can think of is allergy testing, and I'm not sure I want to put her through that
